Hardy hibiscus.. yes. Tropical hibiscus, no..



there are zonal constraints to how far north the hardy hibscus can go. Tropicals can't take a frost..

If you are referring to tropical hibiscus, no if your temps get below 40. Mine had leaf loss in the garage at 45, they are sensitive. Leave outside in pots in the late spring to early fall, but definitely bring them in. There are annual and perenial varieties that are hardy, though.
Reply:It depends on what zone you are in. Some hibiscus are perennials, and you can put them in the ground and they will come back each year.

I live in Zone 5 and have a hardy hibiscus that does very well in the ground. I mulch it well in the Fall, and it receives full sun.
Reply:They love the heat, if it's in a protected location, like a tree overhead and bushes planted on the sides, and not much water all winter. It will work if you live in zone 20-24. Damage may be done even with a frost. My neighbors, old bush withstood 5 mornings of a freeze. Just use some judgement here, I can't see your growing conditions, I don't know what soil in which it is planted, does it have fast drainage. The size of the plant, and is it getting plenty of air circulation , don't play down air circulation. Are you down in a gully, or on a hill, these will all play into wheather it would survive. There may be breeds that have been especially breed for cold weather, they would work better. See if they are sold in your local nurseries, they shouldn't stock what will not grow in the area.
