I wait for it to die down after the first frost......leave for a couple of weeks and then cut off at the ground. Don't do any extra mulch but you could if you wanted to. When the ground begins to warm in the spring it comes back. Don't trim it any during the growing season.
It will put out small side shoots that also bloom. I deadhead so it continues to bloom and save the seed. Like any other hibiscus each bloom only lasts for a day. These two are overlapping...main stem gets about 8-9 feet tall. I have left the seed and additional plants come up around it. Takes little or no care. Not a cutting flower....immediately wilts.
