Yes. They are not cold weather plants, and you should take it inside before the first frost. Keep it in a big pot by a south window, give it plenty of water, and you will have hibiscus flowers all through the winter.

That depends if they are a tropical or a perennial hibiscus. Some hibiscus plants are more hardy than others...rough leaves as opposed to smooth ones. The ones with the rough leaves are considered hardier and are perinea ls that will die and come back each year so you do not have to worry about them. If you have a tropical hibiscus then yes you need to bring them inside (the smooth shinier leaves)

Yes; while there are hardy hibiscus plants, most of the more exotic ones are native to tropical climates, and need help to survive freezing temperatures. It should be brought into a sheltered location before the first frost.

It will start dropping leaves once you get too far below 60 degrees....by all means, bring it in, but you will need to get a spot grow light for tropicals and find a way to keep up the humidity.....sometimes I just put loose plastic bags over my tropicals in the house.

no need to bring in unless its in a pot. If in the ground mulch good and trim down to base the dead branches. It will come up next year
