Hardy hibiscus also benefits from warm temperatures for bud growth; approximately 68 F is ideal. Unlike tropical hibiscus, the hardy varieties will survive freezing temperatures, although flowering will reduce. Provide a 12-inch layer of mulch to protect your hibiscus if there is a chance of frost in your microclimate.
All species of perennial hibiscus grow well from fresh seed, which can be sown in autumn or late winter within U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 7 to 10.The seeds sprout in approximately one month and the resulting seedlings will bloom during their first year in the garden.. Gather perennial hibiscus seeds in autumn when the papery seed husks dry out and begin to split open. Sow the seeds immediately, or store them in a cool, dry place until twelve weeks before the last spring frost.
