Tropical Hibiscus: Bring It In Before the Freeze

When temperatures approach the 30s, tropical hibiscus must move indoors immediately. These plants cannot tolerate any frost or freezing temperatures. A sunny window will sustain them through winter, allowing a return to the outdoors in April.

No Grace Period

Unlike some subtropical plants that handle a light frost, tropical hibiscus suffers damage at or near 32°F. Don't wait for the forecast to hit freezing—act when the low is predicted in the 30s.
