Dear Thomas, At this time of the year, I would contact your local Florists and Retail Greenhouses for a replacement plant. They will have conditioned the Hibiscus to the lower light levels we will have for the winter. You might consider leaving it in the pot next year and digging it in to the soil instead of planting it directly into the ground. You can bring it in next fall and place it pot and all into a decorative container for the winter. Watch your watering as the decorative pot will hold the water.
Sincerely, Richard Hentschel
