We have jsut moved to South Carolian from New York City. We have a lovely hibuscus in a pot. Can we plant it in the ground in the fall, will it survive the winter?

We live on Long Island, NY and I was able to keep my Hibiscus alive through the winter, in a pot, in the house and in a sunny spot. In the spring I got a lot of new growth, but as it was sort of shapeless I pruned back. This summer the tree is out of doors, I got two flowers. How can I get this to bloom, The tree is a beauty and the flower is an apricot with a double ruffle.

Mzmunchken Thanks for the tip. Can you recommend a bloom booster. I got everything else right. When do you think is a good time to shape an hibiscus? Fall? Spring? Good to know others are interested.
