Q&A - What hibiscus variety will survive a zone 7 winter?
Question:
I’m considering planting a hibiscus in my yard. Which hibiscus variety should I buy if I want it to survive the winter here in zone 7?
Answer:
There are many hibiscus varieties that will survive a winter in zone 7. Director of Landscape at The University of Memphis, Joellen Dimond recommends a few. She also tells how to tell if the plant will likely survive the winter. Plants with a single woody stem are usually tropical hibiscus, which will not survive the winter. A hibiscus that has many stems coming up from the roots is most likely to be a perennial hibiscus, which will survive the winter.
