Oh no, no focus in Norn Iron either...

I used to have a Focus, It was closed down

I have had an indoor Hibiscus in the past, I put it outside and it died

Think theres a few, some are meant for indoor which are less hardier than the outdoor type.

Bought a couple of Hibiscus from Focus, remember they are a tropical plant, but can do alright in our spring/summer, advice is to maybe keep them in pot's in the north, and either bring them in or cover them up in winter, as they don't like frost, some even lay them flat in pot's in winter and cover with polythene sheet. They like good drainage, don't like to be stood in over wet soil.
