Hardy Hibiscus dieing

[Muhammad Arif Khan]

Leaves on some of my Hardy Hibiscus are drying. Is it normal, it is only begining of November.They say they die in winter and re-sprout in spring. How to care in this inbetween period.

All mine are already dormant.. no new growth .. just 2-3 pale leaves on each plant.. now it is the time to hold the water...

Izhar, Aoa,
Some are in pots and others in beds. Whereas I can hold water of those in pots the ones in beds will get irrigated along with annuals, should I remove them and dump them in a corner till the spring. The ones in pots would also require some moisture or should I let them bone dry. One of my seed pods has also matured, when should I sow the seeds?

[Izhar]

They wont rot if the annuals are flourishing and transpiring most of the water in the air... the problem may arise if there are constant moist conditions, otherwise you just have to mark where the dormant plant is.. bone drying depends on the size of dormant plant ...larger will return, smaller wont.. seed sowing after spring... they grow quickly
