What's the difference between Tropical and Hardy Hibiscus?

What's the difference between Tropical and Hardy Hibiscus? There are some similarities between these two styles of Hibiscus, but there are also several differences. What growing zone you're in can affect which ones you grow, and if they will be perennial or annual for you. I have overwintered Hibiscus in the ground as well as in pots that have been protected. I'll let you know how that's gone, and which Hibiscus is my favorite. There are SO MANY varieties of both Tropical Hibiscus as well as Hardy Hibiscus, but we'll use a select handful for our examples. My name is Nicole Roggeman, and I am a gardener in zone 8B in coastal North Carolina. Gardening is my passion, and I like to try new combinations of plants together, I plant for fun and try not to worry too much. Since My Carolina Garden is in Wilmington NC, we have hot, humid summers, and have sandy soil here. These are all things I keep in mind throughout the growing season.
