Hi.

I have been growing a perennial hibiscus for 2 years now in zone 5a without any particular care or protection from winter. Each spring, it sprouts anew from the crown and reaches 3 to 4 feet with 6 to 8 inches flowers. This year, at one point, we counted 42 buds on the plant. The flower buds are about the size of a walnut. This picture was taken August 5th.

I leave it alone in fall and trim it back above the new growth in spring.

So don't worry about your perennial hibiscus. It will most likely survive anything winter can throw its way.
