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.

I'm trying to grow on a couple of Hibiscus shoots which seem to be offshoots
from the roots of an established plants.
They are both in pots with HomeBase peat free compost.
The tiny one seems to be growing reasonably well (although no sign of
flowers) but the larger one is struggling; it dropped its leaves but is
growing them back again slowly.
Both seem to need an inordinate amout of water to survive.
They are both sitting outside with their pots in water and seem to like it
that way.
