Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it and what I can do to remedy the problem?

  Reply | Contact My H. syriacus is about 15 years old & looks a bit like the description of your H. Red Heart. I had put it down to unusually vicious winter cold followed by a cool dreich & windy summer. It has been flooded a couple of times. I'm just going to leave it be until spring, feed it well & hope for better things next summer. I did find this helpful. www.hiddenvalleyhibiscus.com/care/yellowleaves.htm Best K
