Yes, hibiscus plants are shrubs ... sometimes. A shrub is a woody plant that matures to a height of 30 feet [9.144 meters]. But not all hibiscus plants are woody. Neither do all mature to such a great height.

Instead, the word 'hibiscus' is the genus name for over 200 species of plants. The genus may be considered the plant world's equivalent of a person's last name. The species may be seen as a person's first name.

So any one hibiscus plant is related closely to any other. But just as the members of a family may vary in height and appearance, so too do the different species of hibiscus. Some are low-growing non-woody plants that live and die within one year or within several. Others are higher-growing bushes. Still others are woody plants that, treelike, grow even higher. It's just that they're considered shrubs or small trees because of the limits to their mature growth.
