I was given a dying hibiscus by a customer last summer. I nursed it back to life and it was doing great. However the heat in my shop is a blast furnace and half of the building is over 100f while there other half is a frozen wasteland.
There hibiscus did not stay green over the winter and i feared the worst. But this afternoon i noticed it has sprouted!

My guess is that this is a H. moscheutus. All parts of these plants above ground die in winter and grow back in spring/summer. Then your patience will be rewarded with huge flowers! 😁

Here is a picture of it blooming last year. And now looking at those images of when I first got it you can see the dead from the previous winter.
