No, I do not have hibiscus here, I thought it will not be conducive since I remember, I have seen it thrive much better in sunny and humid areas. Reading your article, you have mentioned about the hardy ones...hmmm...maybe I will try, but will really think about it. I only plant in containers, and like you I have no greenhouse..something to think about! I like my plants to be drought tolerant and also must grow in shade.
