Default Update; Large flowered hibiscue

Several of us bought some Large Flowered Hibiscus plants earlier this
year. Two of my three have grown to about 3 feet high, but no sign of
flowers. Has anyone else had any success?
One plant, though treated exactly the same, has shown no sign of
growth.

Three roots bought from T & M and planted and no plants at all. One root I
looked at last week as I wanted to plant something else there seemed exactly
as I planted it but one dug up by the cat last month was mostly rotten.
Probably should have planted them in pots and kept them in the greenhouse
with bottom heat but they said they could be planted straight in the ground.
Might try some seeds of H. moschata & H. moscheutos next year and see how
they do.
