Hibiscus winter care pruning
Don't worry -- I've been there! Every year when I lived in Iowa, I'd bring my favorite hibiscus in and out. If I can do it, you can, too. Here's how!

These are tropical plants and don't survive exposure to freezing temperatures. (That said, if you have a hardy hibiscus, which is sold in the perennials section of your local garden center, that plant can stay outdoors over winter.
It will go dormant this fall, rest over winter, and produce new growth in late spring with flowers following in summer).
