How do I grow hibiscus plants?

I have planted them in the front of my house and in the back of my house. They turn brown and die. What am I doing wrong or not doing right?

Not sure where you live, but I live in North Central Texas, and grow them in pots, because here they are only annuals. Anyway, they must have plenty of water. I water mine deeply every evening.
Try asking someone at a local nursery for the best answer for your area.
What zone are you in?

In some areas they are treated as annuals, in milder climates they will grow in ground for decades. Can also be grown in pots.

If they are turning brown and dry they either need more water or less sun. Good luck!
