induced dormancy in trop. hibiscus?

I may have to enjoy tropical hibiscuses (hibisci?) vicariously but boy I'm really enchanted with some of the pix of tropical hibiscus varieties posted in various forums. I'm crazy enough to have caught the brugmansia bug and carry over 40 something pots of those in dormancy in my basement as well as the typical aroids, dahlias and cannas so don't really need one more addiction - LOL
....but, I'd really like to try a couple of these (trop. hib.) if there was any way to carry them over in semidormancy in the basement? Are there any other northern gardners out there who have found a way? I 've already committed what window space we have so that's not an option.
thanks,
Will
