Though several members of the hibiscus family are perfectly content outdoors in an Atlanta winter, the tropical hibiscus is not. If yours has grown vigorously outdoors, you’ll have to prune it back somewhat to a smaller, more manageable size….then bring it indoors.

Preserve as many leaves as you can on the plant and place it in the sunniest spot possible. Some leaves may drop during the winter but a hibiscus will usually burst forth with new growth when you take it outside next April.
