Hibiscus (Tropical Hibiscus) & Pavonia
|
Hibiscus and Pavonia are mostly perennial evergreen to rarely deciduous shrubs, few tropical species are growing as annuals. All require a well drained substrate in full sun and plenty of water in summer. Tropical species should be kept drier in a sunny spot in winter at some 15°C to 20°C. Sow flat at a minimum of some 20°C in any rocky or sandy soil, keep pots always in full sun. 10 seeds per package, unless not stated differently. Note on seed availability: All species in section Lilibiscus (e. g. Hibiscus arnottianus, Hibiscus boryanus, Hibiscus fragilis, Hibiscus kokio, etc.) as well as some other woody members (e g. Hibiscus insularis and Hibiscus scottii) are much sought after by collectors. However, seed set in most of these is very irregular and thus almost unpredictable. Despite a continued flowering period from spring through early winter, our cultivated plants usually fruit around early summer (May and June) and then again in early autumn (September and October) only. Whereas in full summer heat all developing seed capsules are usually aborted. Thus you have the best chance to get a hold on one of these by occasionally checking our webshop for new arrivals in early summer and early autumn. A note on Hibiscus seeds being offered on several selling platforms: On severall well-known U.S. American, European and Chinese selling platforms you will find thousands and thousands of offers on Hibiscus seeds. But before you throw away your money, keep in mind the following: Firstly, there does not exist any true blue, nor any vivid emerald green, nor any rainbow colored hibiscus. These are all scams. Secondly, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis cultivars will never come 100% true from seeds. If you are lucky enough you will at least receive some hibiscus seeds (and not something else you didn't pay for). However, the color in your plants will never be the one shown on the photo. In the best case your plants will be close, but they will never be identical. And if a seller will tell you the contrary, then do think twice before buying anything from this person. Last but not least, and as a general recommendation: never ever buy anything from any seller who may also offer: blue tomatoes, blue or violet strawberries, blue, pure black or rainbow colored roses, blue or rainbow colored chrysanthemums, rainbow colored grapes, true blue orchids, blue cucumbers, blue sunflowers, blue pumpkins, etc. All these are fakes and you will be scammed. You find more Hibiscus species in this category: Hibiscus (Hardy Mallow) and Hibiscus (Swamp Mallow). U.S. customers only: Hibiscus seeds cannot be shipped to the U.S. |
