Hi Jennifer, I have oodles of seeds I can send you from South Korea. I am a NJ native teaching English in Korea due to the US economy. I have been a member of GW and Dave's for over ten years and have had successful trades with many gardeners in the USA. I have easy seeds for your children - Korean packets of portulaca grandiflora, dahlia, Korean traditional sunflower, chinese lantern seeds, Korean morning glories, all types of chile peppers, celosia, red salvia, impatiens balsaminia, and lots more. I'd be interested in trading for your white texas star hibiscus seeds if possible. Postage to South Korea costs anywhere between $1.67 to $3 depending on the weight and if you choose to use a bubble mailer. I'm fine with you mailing the hibiscus seeds in a plain white letter sized envelope with the seeds wrapped inbetween bubblewrap or napkins. Then the cost will drop to less than $1 to mail a first class letter. LMK if you'd be interested in a trade. I have so many seeds that I do not have room to plant this spring. I would be happy to send you and your children some packets of seed. Most of them will be from commercial sources.

I'm looking for them too! I have the dk pink & red and would love a few white ones! Hope you find them!

Those who grow Texas Star Hibiscus should have lots of seeds each year as even one bloom about 30 seeds and they sure do start easy. Here I start them anytime of the year and end up with too many seeds each time. I have never had any white Star Hibiscus to produce or someone send the wrong seeds. but I do enjoy the Red blooms. I also enjoy the rose-of-Sharon blooms which are hardier the the Florida-Louisiana-Texas Star Hibiscus. I say that because they are native to Florida and Louisiana but ended up being called Texas Star Hibiscus.

I guess I didn't know about all these thing people do to get them to grow. I just plant them and wait for them to sprout. I have two different red Texas Star Hibiscus growing in my front bed. I can tell by the leaves and they will have a little different bloom which I expect to see come August. So far I haven't seen any White hibiscus in the area. They are native to Florida and Louisiana and how they got the name I do not know but understand they are hardy to Zone 4? I also have a Confederate Rose hibiscus that is over 8' tall and just starting to put on buds. I was told they didn't start to bloom until it gets hot in this area. It didn't die back this year so has a large head start. Last year we enjoyed over 50 blooms from August until the weather cooled down. Then all I got were seed pods.
