I have no buds/flowers on my Hibiscus (rose of sharon) this year. The plant looks healthly, green leaves but no flowers. Any ideas?

Well, hibicusses respond very well to pruning. I always prune mine in winter or after flowering. But given the right climate hibiscusses should flower all year round, but never in abundancy and also: a flower only lasts one day!

What zone are you in? Temperature affects flowering for hibiscus. It is a tropical plant. The most common reason for not setting buds, given a warm environment, is not enough water. Rose of Sharon is very hardy - fertilize, water more - good luck!
