Hello, I planted this young plant in autumn. I am in Brittany. This winter, we had two episodes of frost down to -4. During the first episode, I didn't protect the spike of the plant, and during the second episode, I placed hay and cut herb around the spike. Today, on 18th March, I notice small green shoots growing on the stems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Description
Hibiscus syriacus 'Freedom' has double, crinkled, pink-purple petals. Its compact habit and slow growth are sought-after qualities for small gardens and container cultivation.
An ornamental bush, it has an upright habit and late flowering. From July to September, this highly floriferous bush produces large, solitary or paired flowers. Its double flowers are pink-purple with white stamens, and measure about 7 cm (2.8 in) in diameter.
The foliage is deciduous. The leaves are dark green and turn yellow in autumn. Hibiscus syriacus 'Freedom' is a vigorous variety and it is also very hardy. At maturity, it can reach a height of 1.5 m to 2.5 m (4.9 ft to 8.2 ft).
Nicknamed Tree Mallow, this hibiscus can be cultivated as a solitary plant as well as in groups. It can be found in rockeries, in free hedges with deciduous bushes, or in borders with large perennials or grasses.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
