I sow them just like any other. When I planted out last year, I tried to pick individual plants from the containers, but that didn't always work. The ones I really wanted, like Red Texas star, I potted up to grow on a bit before planting them in the bed. I won't do that this year. I'll just plant them directly. They grow very fast for me in NC.

I do. I winter sowed them last year with only a few sprouts.
I sowed more in May and had much better results. They grow very fast and flower (pathetically) the first year. The second year is amazing.

Token: You sowed hibiscus in 2 ltr bottles? Several seeds per bottle? Not in cups?

I know you favor small styrofoam cups for annuals. Do you use larger drink cups at all?

I sowed Red Texas star indoors and wintersowed. Outside, they were in two liters. Inside, in cups. The wintersown ones did much better than those started indoors. The white hardy hibiscus I sowed flowered too, can't wait to see them this year.

This year, I've added a bunch more. All wintersown in 2-liter containers.
