Does anyone know if hibiscus plants can take direct sunlight or indirect?

I live in SC, i'm not sure what zone that is, but it is extremely hot and humid. So where do I plant them?

Does anyone know if hibiscus plants can take direct sunlight or indirect?
I live in SW Florida and have several hibiscus plants in my yard. All are in direct sunlight and all are thriving. Our weather is pretty much like yours is this time of the year, hot %26amp; humid all the time. I don't really do much for them, as we are in the rainy season now, so they'll get all the water they want.
Reply:Hibiscus like morning sun. they do well in filtered light. they tend wilt in hot afternoon sun...
Reply:Hibiscus are tropical plants and they love LOTS of sunshine!
Reply:Hibiscus is generally a full sun plant. Tropical hibiscus can tolerate full sun, and so can perennial hibiscus (the ones with the dinner plate sized flowers). Rose of Sharon is deciduous hibiscus. The more sun it gets, the more blooms you'll see.
Reply:medium both shade and sun.
Reply:Our neighbor has their's planted in direct sunlight. Rabbits ate ours though.
Reply:Direct sun is best and give it plenty of water. Enjoy.
Reply:They will grow in both, as long as they have sun at least half of the day. Just make sure they get plenty of water.
Reply:I planted one in my yard just this summer...they take direct sunlight. I was told that they will bloom all summer and so far it has. I live in Ohio, so I don't know if they will continue to bloom for you beyond what we call summer here. Just make sure to water it after the sun goes down.
