My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hybridizing

What Exactly IS Hybridizing?

23 years ago

Is it as simple as pollinating one cultivar with another?

If I take the pollen of a Hibiscus syriacus 'Sky Blue' and cross it with H. syriacus 'Monstrosus', is this a hybrid? Or do I have to take H. syriacus and pollinate H. rosa-sinensis? OR are they both hybrids?

I don't think this is a small subject, but can someone please open the blinds for me (haha)?

Thanks!

Myka
