FREE: TROPICAL HIBISCUS SEED (5 FRESH SEEDS!)

The listing, TROPICAL HIBISCUS SEED (5 FRESH SEEDS!) has ended.

This listia auction is for five very fresh, very robust TROPICAL HIBISCUS seeds from the cross shown in the photos. Mom is the bloom with the magenta center, dad is the yellow bloom. The mother plant grows more open with a finer texture in the leaves and branches than the father plant. The father plant is very robust with thicker and more compact shape. Both plants are very fast growing and healthy.

I originally got these two hibiscus plants as cuttings from my college, so I don't know their names, or if they even have official names. Regardless, they're lovely, healthy plants that are a delight to grow and have.

Hibiscus seeds are relatively easy but slow to germinate. Good instructions can be found here: http://www.hibiscus-of-tahiti.com/seed_growing_from.htm

You can grow this plant year round outside if you live in warmer climates as a nice shrub. But where I live (way up north!) I simply bring in my tropical hibiscus plants indoors when the nights start getting below 60 degrees outside. They live happily in my home in front of a large south facing window over the cooler season. You can google further husbandry tips if you need them.

I don't know what the blooms of the babies this cross created will look like, but you can probably expect yellow-ish babies with very large 5+ inch blooms, and healthy plants overall. Shipping is free within the US only.
