Winter Care Of Hibiscus

Question

I have 18 hibiscus plants in my front yard. I cannot take them indoors. I live in Summerville, SC and we do have a lot of nights below freezing. I was told when I purchased them that I could cover them with plastic bags for the winter to keep the frost from killing them. Will this work?

Answer 1

Do not wrap it in plastic, as this can harm it. You can wrap it in burlap or fleece, or simply mulch the roots very well.
