Hibiscus: I don't want to lose them.., 1 by ArizonaDee

I had two I bought the summer before last, planted in pots, that both died off last winter. I planted the "sticks and roots" that remained in a bed, and both have come back to be real beauties, although the pink one has not set out many blooms. The orange one is always in bloom. I'm not sure what variety they are, I bought them before gardening became a real obsession!
This year I will cover both of them and hope they do well. Does anyone have recommendations for mulching- what do you put around your plants when winter is coming?
