Hi Tina I have a red, white, and a pink hardy hibiscus. Also White and red Texas Star. These are all seed but very easy to grow from seed! Let me know if youu would like any of them? God Bless You Treva Here is a link that might be useful: Trade List

Hi there, Unless you plan to mulch 1-2' for frost and winter seasons just to take a chance. Have you double checked your zone, sometimes there are pockets of zone 5 in zone 4. You'll still need the same amount of mulch in the first couple of years. http://www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/ushzmap.html You might want to choose to stick with the annual tropical hibiscus and just regrow them by seed each year. I don't mean the fancy ones, the seeds are a little expensive. Again, the annuals like manihot and ruby red are really pretty plants, take a note of their latin names and you'll probably find some others like them. Better yet, check into the Rose of Sharon. They're a tree type of hibiscus you don't cut down and pretty hardy. You might have to stick with the basic single petals and avoid the double flowers but who know's what the latest hybrids can do. These will take some time growing up though, 2-3 years to bloom from seed, But eventually hit a 8-10 feet size or so. Happy Gardening, - Sandy

Nicole; I am so glad to hear that you have had some measure of success with your Rose of Sharon.They are really, good solid plants to grow in any garden. I am sorry that what I sen't you didn't turn out to be very much in the BLUE range but as long as you are happy with them...that is all that matters. I have a few different colours in the garden and the seedlings are obviously a mixture of these colours. They are all colourful and since they have a long bloom period, they provide interest for quite some time. Thanks for the update. Happy Gardening. Ross.
