Hi again jungle87, I see you got an email link set up. Great! I have 3 varieties of butterfly bush, 2 named and a lavender one with no name. If you will send me your addy, I'll get some of each out to you...no trade needed. Just LMK Sue...chemocurl

i am sorry but those are not hibiscus seeds. they are smooth and shiny and too small. sellers you can trust: 1hotrj ( richard johnson), plant_maniac ( dave thomspon - not sure he has seeds), and tezula looks promising for unbloomed seedlings but i haven't ordered from them yet. Richard is about to go on vacation so he won't be posting any more auctions until august he said.

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

This is a hardy hibiscus, not the tropical kind you'll see discussed here more often. I've never grown it from seeds but chances are they're not that different from their tropical cousins. The seeds can take forever to germinate, so to speed the process people usually scarify them. As they're hardy plants, they may also require some weeks in the fridge to simulate winter before they will germinate (not sure about that). Here's a link about scarification that you may find of interest. It's about tropical hibiscus but the same thing apply to those: http://www.hibiscus-of-tahiti.com/seed_growing_from.htm#seed_nicking
