Or do I need to keep it in a pot? I want to to grow as big as possible, and it is but I feel it is restricted in a pot. I live in Texas so it very rarely freezes here. I am wondering if I could transfer it to the ground so it can grow very big.

You can plant tropical or perennial hibiscus in the ground. The only difference is that if you get any kind of freeze at all it will kill the tropical hibiscus. However, if you have a perennial hibiscus then you don't have anything to worry about and you can keep the hibiscus in ground year round. I'm in OK, zone 7 and I grow perennial hibiscus are planted in the ground. If I had tropical then I would keep them in a pot so I could move them indoors for the winter.
Good Luck

Planting Hibiscus In The Ground

If it were me, I'd keep it in a really big pot. You, living in Texas, & me, living in Arkansas, hardly ever get freezing temperatures. But it only takes one to kill the plant. If it's in a really big pot, there are various ways to protect it. Placing the pot in a protected area, putting a thick, strong garbage bag over it, etc. If it's in the ground during one freeze, you'll lose it. I have a lipstick hibiscus. It's beautiful! Good Luck & Blessings

If you are growing perineal hibiscus, plant away.If you have tropical hibiscus be care full. Tropical hibiscus can only survive down to 40 degrees F. They can't survive a frost,without your help. You should look up the phone number to your County AG. extension center. They have an abundance of info for you, concerning your local growing needs. ( You will find that they are some of nicest people you have ever talked to.)

Yes, You can. Although the Texas climate is different than Florida, the hibiscus is a very hardy variety of plant. Check with your local home depot or Lowe's and look for images online, you may see some of my photos of my hibiscus hedges. They are really cool looking bushes all trimmed up and in bloom. Good luck with your search. All the best and enjoy.

There are several types of Hibiscus, but most often people are referring to the tropical type which can not stand a frost.
I have seen them in the ground in frost free areas, grown as dense hedges reaching 8 feet in height and coverered with flowers. If frost is threatened, an old sheet is usually enough protection. If you feel you must use plastic, or a tarp,,, Be Aware, it must be removed, before the sun is strong or it will cook under there. Set your alarm for sunrise.

I use a cheep table cloth if the plant is short and I also add White / clear christmas lights strung up through out the branches down to the base at ground level to keep the Tropical warm..My trees are 8 years old now and I repeat this process every freeze warning. My trees grow 8 ft. plus during the summer. The secret when they are that tall ,cut the down to about 5 ft. prior to winter and use an inexpensive tarp found at Wal Mart and add the white / clear Christmas lights to warm the plant.This has worked for me for many years now.

Most Hibiscusis in CA where I am have a disease so I would not recomment having any right now. It loks like the leafes are white on the back side. But if there is none of that where you are then I would plant it in an area of your garden where there is room to grow because they will get big if you let them.
