Hibiscus seeds
We got a break today the temps went almost up to 70. I Was cleaning out winter
debris from the yard, and snapping off old perennial branches & plants (Now that I know exactly where they all are) before new growth starts... On my Hibiscus were some seed pods, so I discected them for the seeds and tossed them into a glass of water. When they sink, they're ready to plant right? How long should that take? (I'll start them indoors in cellpacks then transplant when safe, around May 15th) And how large of a plant should I expect to get from a seed in 1 growing season? Thanks in Advance! PS No activity on those elephant ears yet - 1 week in the pot so far. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

Hardy hibiscus do well when sown outside directly into the soil. Most of them will bloom the second year, and some will bloom the first, depending upon your zone. (I'm in zone 6.) I have found that a pink hibiscus (Disco Belle) has many seedlings coming up around it that bloom the first year if I don't deadhead or pull them as they sprout. John |

John Thanks, I planted then 1 day ago when they began to sink. The remaining seeds I'll toss outside here and there just to see what happens. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
