Okay, looks like you are the same zone that I am in so, as a result, you can plant you perennial hibiscus now. Oh, wait, are you planting seeds or established plants. If already established plants then plant now. If seed then wait until spring. There is nothing special about planting or caring for them. They like full sun and they don't like to have wet feet so make sure you don't over water them. Keep the soil moist, but not wet. Other than that their care is similar to any other plant in the garden. Be aware that hibiscus flowers only survive one day, but they keep producing all summer long.





Good Luck
