Key Features
- Approximately 20 seeds per packet
- Mixed option and numbered parent selections
- Warm-growing flowering plants for containers or frost-free gardens
- Seed-grown color, size and form naturally vary
What's in the Pack
One packet containing approximately 20 seeds in the selected option. Seeds only; plants and exact pictured flowers are not included.
Planting Instructions
Preparing the Seeds
Where the seed coat is firm, lightly nick one edge without damaging the interior and soak in warm water for 8–24 hours.
Sowing and Germination
Sow about 1/4 inch deep in a sterile, well-drained seed-starting mix. Maintain 75–85°F and steady light moisture. Germination often takes 2–6 weeks but may be longer depending on species and seed age.
Seedling Care
Provide bright light and gradually acclimate seedlings to direct sun. Transplant after frost danger has passed. Containers need drainage and regular watering during active growth, but roots should not remain saturated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the flower match the selected image?
Not necessarily. Hibiscus seedlings can segregate widely, especially when parentage is unknown.
Can hibiscus grow in containers?
Yes. Use a large pot with drainage and provide suitable winter protection for tender types.
Are all selections the same species?
The supplier data does not confirm the exact species for each numbered option, so this listing does not make that guarantee.
Please note: No rarity, cultivar, organic or exact-color certification is claimed. Germination and bloom timing vary.
