Hardy Hibiscus Seed

11 years ago

I see many sellers on Ebay selling hardy hibiscus seeds, these seeds are named varieties. Do they come true to the plant named? Thanks

good question - i am not sure of the answer to that. I would think that if the CV was hybridized, then it may change. if it is species - then it should be the same - but not sure for hardy hib's.

The only one I have personally grown from seed is Luna Pink Swirl. But I believe most will come true from seed. If you search reputable nurseries you will see many sell seed for named Hardy Hibiscus.

The reason I am asking is I did order some seed from named hibiscus - Copper King. The hibiscus is supposed to have dark leaves and maple shaped leaves. It has the regular leaves and the leaves are green. I guess you take a chance with the seeds. It didn't bloom last year so I will have a surprise this year I hope.
