I have a beautiful hibiscus that I want to keep over the winter. Any hints on how to care for it. I am in Williamsburg, VA. It already went through two frosts. I cut it back. It's in a big pot instead of the ground.
Thanks

I don't have hibiscus myself, but here is a link discussing overwinter care for them. I hope it helps.

Some Hibiscus are tropical,and must be overwintered indoors, some are hardy. Cutting it back could make it less hardy. If you need more info after reading oby's link, check back. [thumb] [wavey]
