Hi all, it has been a while since I was last online, as I was in double mourning :( My beautiful Texas Star hibiscus of two years did not survive the freaky cold winter that we had down hear in the Texas City/Galveston area and my computer died so it's been a struggle these past few months..sob sniff Anyway on a brighter note, my baby seedlings survived the winter, well 4 out of 10 so that is good news, they are still nothing special but hopefully they will survive the next winter and I shall get some more seeds next year. Re- Piksi_hk, Thanx for the advice to put my seedlings into the garage, I still lost 6 of the 10 which I had but to me that is success and hopefully next summer I shall be able to harvest some more seeds..I live in hope :) Re-Wally-1936, I loved all my Daffodils and Tulips when I lived in England unfortunately it is way to hot for them to flower down here without continuously digging them up and leaving them in the bosses fridge for 4 months every winter, also where do I find the list of nice people who will be willing to send me some red texas star hibiscus seeds please.

Here in the Houston area they can grown to well over 10 feet tall with the right soil, Mostly they seem to stay at about 6 feet but can be kept pruned back if needed. They do okay here with either morning sun and afternoon shade or Morning shade and evening sun but seem to enjoy full sun for best blooming results. Each bloom can produce about 15 seeds so you will end up giving seeds away or growing a lot more plants. I find that I usually am able to find someone local who wants my extra plants as I have gotten carried away at times.

I would like some of your Texas Red Star Hibiscus. I have castor bean Carmencita--red leaves and bright red flowers. They grow as annuals here, but I have seeds. You can check my list (but it has a lot of coneflowers and marigolds so I'll warn you). Not much tropical. Heidi

I’m looking for some Tx white star hibiscus seeds, anyone out there have any they would like to swap for a different color hibiscus? Thanks
