The Hibiscus genus includes both tender, tropical plants that thrive only in the frost-free areas of U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11 and varieties hardy down to USDA zone 5 that die back in the cold only to send up vigorous new shoots in spring. Both types of this herbaceous shrub have large -- often more than 6 inches wide -- blooms they sport from late summer into fall in show-stopping shades of magenta, red, yellow and orange and more demure white, lavender and pink. The plant is easily propagated from seed, cuttings and root division. Before dividing any plant, it is helpful to learn about its root system.

Hibiscus plants have combination of a few short, stabilizing taproots and a mass of shallow fibrous roots. In addition, hibiscus roots are classified as spreading, meaning that they as they grow they move outward from the original crown of the plant with new shoots developing that are separate from the crown and that have their own roots, while being attached to the main plant by at least one root.
