Should I dig up my hibiscus for the winter?

There are two kinds of hibiscus: tropical and perennial. The perennial hibiscus will die back to the ground every winter but come up in the spring. The tropical hibiscus will not survive the winter and will need to be replanted in the spring. The tropical type can be dug up and brought inside but next spring it will take some time for the plant to recover and begin to look good again. It may be easier to let it die and get a new plant next year.
