The flowers do last only one day then wrap up and fall off overnite.

I have a small (my first) 2 ft. high pink Hibiscus on my deck this Summer.
It was going great until about 3 weeks ago, when I noticed that the blooms
are wilted around the outside edge about 1/8 inch. I water it regularly,
the
pot has drainage, although, in NJ this Summer, it has been really hot. I
was
hoping it would improve when the weather turned cooler, but I still get
this
edge wilt going on.
Any ideas what could be wrong?

If they are tropical ones, flower lasts only one day, sometimes 2-3 days if
it is colder around 10 celsius degrees, in my humble experience, during
spring and summer we get them out and later during winter in a house. Try
yellow hibiscus with a double flower, maybe day or a half day longer it will
last, but it needs partial shade, morning sun or so, while those with simple
flower can stand a full sunlight, but also less flowers than when they are
little protected from a sun. When you manage to obtain a good conditions for
it it can give you flowers every day whole summer - personal experience. We
have them a lot and we are facinated with them, cause they put so much
effort in that one beautifull flower whivh lasts for a day.
