Re: Hibiscus

Re: Hibiscus
Hey Annie! That one I got from Chris, correct me if I'm wrong on this I believe the name is Patty Plum? Yes that is a double in that sense with two. I have 2 Red TX stars, 1 White TX star, 2 reds, 1 Hot pink, 1 Patty Plum, 2 of the pinks with red centers, plus some that we started from seeds this spring and last fall. See these are addictive, too! We will be saving seeds from open pollinations.

Re: Hibiscus
Very nice flowers on them!
I only have one left a white one, which has been the closest to the house with more foot traffic. I'm thinking the groundhogs or some night creature have ate, killed the others. Next spring I'm going to divide it, it's been in the same location for as least 5 years. Plus I want to order other colors from Chris now that I know how to rid the groundhogs with the smoke bombs.

Re: Hibiscus
Hi Kht,
The purple one was Plum Crazy.
It was a great growing year here for Hibiscus and I'll have a nice selection next spring including Fireball, Kopper King, Super Rose, Pink Elephant (unbelievable huge flowers on this one), and a few plants each of Turn of the Century and Moy Grande.
Thanks for sharing all of these!
