yes, trimming plants is a good thing and helps to encourage more growth. you should see twice as many blooms in the next season.

Pruning hybiscus is always a good idea, as flowering takes place on the new growth - white hybiscus looks better if drastically pruned every third year only.
Pruning really depends on your climate area, and on how fast your plants grow.

yes, but I would wait till mid fall. they do best if you cut them back about 6-7 inches from the ground. You should have tons of flowers next yr.

Wait until the plan is killed by frost or dies back on it's own. As long as it's still green it is producing and storing energy for next season.
