Can I bring a Hibiscus shrub in-doors for the winter? I live in Ct. This plant is a large pot.?

There is a tropical hibiscus, which can be grown indoors. There is also one that is hardy to USDA zone 5. That is Hibiscus syriacuse (Rose of sharon). The hardy one could not be grown indoors, as it needs a dormant period.



The tropical one (Hibiscus chinensis) is relatively easy to grow. Put it into a sunny window, keep it moist, but not wet and it should do okay. It might drop alot of leaves, don't be too worried. They will recover. As soon as it's alright to put it back outside (no danger of frost) do so.



Good luck-

I hope that this helps

Bring it indoors and keep it next to a window that gets lots of sun.
Reply:Yes you can, however Hibiscus shrubs do tend to have a type of spider living in them. Make sure you buy a spray at the greenhouse to kill the bugs before bringing it inside.
