I know its not much but I have Tradescantia for trade for one or 2 of your seedlings. As much as you want. I just moved from Michigan to Florida so have yet to build up my garden yet but I love the yellow tropical hibiscus I see growing. I cant grow a thing from a seed, wait I take that back I have an orange seedling about 3 inches high right now. Let me know. Thanks Penney Here is a link that might be useful:

That's such a sad photo -- did it ever come back? Do you really think a glass of wine could have done that? I learned a MINOR poison lesson this week when I put "Off" on my legs while standing next to a blooming hibiscus. Every bloom got burn spots -- but the foliage didn't.

I know this post is really old, but I hope someone can help me out. I have never seen a tropical hibiscus set seed, but I have heard they can. I live in deep South Texas and when I say south I mean 7 miles from the Mexican border. Tropical hibiscus along with bouganvillas are everywhere, in every home, in every abandoned lot. I have asked many people down here if they have ever gotten seeds from either one and the response is always the same "they don't set seed". I followed a post once on a woman who traded for boug. seeds and they sprouted for her and I saw in the pix that they were boug. My question is how are ya'll getting them to set seed? Do you hand pollinate them? I have a very healthy garden full of butterflies, hummers, bats, bees, and you name I got it. My daylilies won't set seed either. Please help. Josie

Should be. I'm in 9b, and it's hardy here. Of course, if you have a freak freeze, you might lose it. The big hybrids aren't as hardy as the regular ones.
