Best Answer

A hibiscus plant only is considered a shrub or small tree when it matures to a height of 30 feet [9.144 meters]. The word 'hibiscus' is the genus name for over 200 different species. Specifically, the genus may be seen as the rough equivalent of a person's last name. The species may be seen as the rough equivalent of a person's first name.

That shows how closely these hibiscus plants are related. But some are low-growing annuals that live and die yearly. Others are low-growing perennials that take a couple of years to live and die. Still others are higher-growing bushes. Yet others are even higher-growing shrubs or small trees.
