Aoa Izhar, how old are these Hardy Hibiscus (seed hibiscus) plants of yours? Did they die back even in Karachi winter? If they are in ground, keeping their track would be difficult.
Happy gardening
Arif

Sir, the complete foliage die back in winters leaving only the dried twigs above ground so you just have to water them less and they will re-sprout from the base and grow quickly next season. This one i.e. Hibiscus sabdarifa is not the hardy one, though it grows from seed, infact it is used to make a drink. My hardy hibiscus is 1 year & 4 month old now..

Umar, the seedlings were commonly available here in Karachi but I think More Green has the "Pacifica" series.
