KimKanQuilt - as QuiltE said, there is a tropical Hibiscus and a perennial Hibiscus. Many of the perennial Hibiscus are hardy all the way up to USDA zone 4. Perhaps you have a colder variety that is not getting the necessary cold/dormant period it requires, or you have a tropical variety that is not enjoying the winters (even in SoCal).
Thank you for the info on the lily. I get them confussed because I think I have different varities.
