Marie...

I don't recall seeing your post.  However, we could use a bit more
information on which hibiscus you are seeking information on.

Hibiscus syriacus - hardy hibiscus - not usually grown as a potted plant,
but as an inground shrub or small tree

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis - tropical hibiscus  ( I suspect this is the one you
are interested in)

Actually, both of these species like a lot of sun and adequate moisture.
If your plants are wilting, they are probably not getting enough water (do
the leaves perk up at night or after watering?)  Either sink your pots into
the ground where they won't dry out so fast or pot up into a larger size
pot or maybe use a plastic pot that doesn't dry out so fast.
