"slightly"
acidic soil, which I don't have, but will mix in some ericaceous.
They are potted but I don't have high hopes!
I bought a large flowered hibiscus cultivated in the Netherlands a few
years ago, labelled as "winter hardy", with herbacious habit where
frosted. It may be winter hardy in some places, but not where I live in
SE England. It did not come back after its first winter, even though it
was one of the mildest of recent winters. Had some very tacky punning
variety name which temporarily escapes me.

Perhaps 'Mauvelous'.
