HARDY RED HIBISCUS
Hibiscus moscheutos
SKU: 233-003
Description
Giant red blooms up to 8" across! Makes a nice small bush or hedge, with multiple flowers!
Type: Perennial/shrub
Height: 36", 3 feet feet
Location: Sun or part
Hardiness zones: 5-9, and sometimes hardy in zone 4
Seeds per pack: 3
Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 2 weeks. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 5-6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. Germination is in 14-60 days after the warming period. If possible, the best location for sowing in March, April and May, is in cold frame or a cold greenhouse where they will receive the cold period and fluctuating temperatures naturally.
