We are in Florida and our hibiscus are actually in the ground. They are don't do well with freezing temps when left to their own devices. On the rare nights that the temps are going into the low 30's, we cover them up with light blankets and clip the shut with clothes pins. If the temp is going to be 32ºF or below, covering them or bringing them in is a must. If you cover them, take the covers off again the next morning after the temperature begins to rise so they have a chance to breathe. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, the leaves will still drop, but after all the danger of freeze has past, they can be lightly pruned. As soon as the weather warms up, they have always leafed back out and flowered again.
