WANTED: Blue Rose of Sharon seeds.

10 years ago

I really want to grow a Blue Rose Of Sharon. I would love to find Minerva, Blue Stain, or another kind that is a blue color.

I have Sunset Hibiscus, Tigger melons, toothache plant, Ali Baba, Luffa, and African Horned Jelly melons to trade with. All harvested this year.

Thank you for your time.

I hate to say this, but I have found that Rose of Sharon, at least my blue ones, don't come true from seed. They produce seedlings galore in the bed area around my blue ROS, but none of them ended up being blue or even close to blue.

To guarantee getting those you listed, it would be best to get cuttings or rooted cuttings.

Aww, I didn't thinking about that. Thanks for letting me know.

I just seen that Gureney's carry the plants (they are out right now but they at least carry them from time to time.) Guess I'll wait until they get some in again.

If, anyone has rooted cuttngs I can offer horseradsh roots in exchange.

Thanks for letting me know because I want to plant them around my house and I really want blue ones.

Mcpeg, Hibiscus seeds do not come true from seed. Best to spend the money and buy a plant, that way you have a blue plant for sure. The last blue hibiscus I saw was at Terra greenhouses on trafalgar Rd. Mississauga. The single is lovely. Good luck.

Hi, I used to have a Hibiscus Syriacus Blue Bird. It lived maybe 8 years in a sheltered spot, but then the winter was hard and I lost her. She was out of her zone I'm sure, as this was the only spot one survived. I have tried a few babies of her, but they don't seem to winter over. Does anyone have seeds of a similiar colour (mauve-blue) and height- 8 feet or so that is a hardier variety. I am technically in 5A for Canada. I would love to send a SASE and acquire some seeds from someone who has a hardier variety in the mauve-blue colour. Much appreciated, Mary

I grew some from seed and they are not true. They are pretty, but they are lavendar, not the blue of the mother plant.
