mplant14 said:It actually from a plant in the ground. I'm from Canada and it is a plant that remains outdoor all year round. I was trying to grow a similar plant but it die. I don't know how this one survive the winter.


Hardy hibiscus, Hibiscus moscheutos, will survive the winter in Toronto, I'm further north and east of you and a hardiness zone or two colder, and I saw some in a garden near here just this morning. Your best bet is to go to a garden centre that sells perennials. Some garden centres and supermarkets sell the tender Hibiscus rosa-sinensis as a summer only plant. If you want to keep that kind over winter you would need to bring it indoors before it gets too cold in fall.
