Hibiscus and Azalea Pruning

Question

I have a hibiscus and an azalea that I brought in the house for the winter in large planters. The hibiscus has remained green through the winter. Do I prune both back and, if so, how much?

Answer 1

Hold off on pruning the hibiscus. This should be done in spring.
