I have 5 that I would like to save, but don’t have a sunny area in which to put them. Can they go dormant in a basement that is about 60 degrees in winter? Thank you.

It sounds like your basement will work fine as far as the temperature goes. The hibiscuses may look a bit rough when they come out in the spring. Here's an article with info for you:
