I have a "Tradewinds Tie dye" hibiscus for trade for another tropical hibiscus. Please send me a pic of what you have to trade. I would prefer a named, but doesn't have to be. Thank you

The short answer is "No". That said, the Fleming Brothers have developed at least three cultivars that they have patented, or are patenting, that they assert to be hybrids of hardy hibiscus and exotic tropical hibiscus, of the rosa-sinensis complex. However, I have a "backyard hybridizer" friend who seriously questions their claims. That said, I DO have one of these plants, Pink Comet which at least hints at having rosa-sinensis genetic material in its heritage. I have also read that hybrids of rosa-sinensis, and Hibiscus syriacus( The Rose of Sharon)have been created. I have not found them on the market yet, however. DO give it a try! You just MIGHT get fortunate! Subtropical hibiscus, such as Hibiscus grandiflorus of Florida, will cross with certain hardy hibiscus, such as Hibiscus moscheutos. These can be truly spectacular. One such hybrid is Hibiscus 'Moy Grande'. This was developed by a Dr. Moy, of San Antonio if memory serves me right. It is worth obtaining. I can send you seed, if you tell me your name and address.

I have many of these shrubs and can give you lots of large cuttings which root very, very, easily. I'm in NW Hillsborough...I think you've been to the swaps that use to be at my house?? I haven't been active on the site here in years, just now getting back to it. Lori
