Aphids! Hibiscus are very prone to aphids infestations they love any new growth

Definitely aphids. They are being farmed by ants who feed on the nectar they secrete. Try an insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Thank you so much! Just ordered some neem oil from Amazon!

The force of a garden hose can knock off most aphids. Neem oil can get into the folds and creases. 🍀🪴
