Hibiscus are easy .. I start all of my seeds in plastic window boxes. I fill the window boxes with ProMix BX, a peat based potting medium (I quit using soil years ago .. way too heavy) and plant the seeds just under the ProMix. If they are fresh seeds then they should come up pretty quickly if not it may take a week or two. Once they have put on a set of true leaves I transplant into individual pots .. when the roots start coming out the bottom they go into bigger pots or in the ground.

Since yours are tropical, I'd wait until next spring to start unless you have a sunny warm place to winter over. The picture below is of some I planted last week. They all got put into their individual pots yesterday.
