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, if 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 and are mostly very rare in cultivation. Seed set in most of these species is very irregular and 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 rare species by occasionally checking our webshop for new arrivals in early summer and early autumn. You find more hibiscus in these categories: Hibiscus (Hardy Mallow), Hibiscus (Swamp Mallow) & Kosteletzkya (Saltmarsh Mallow), and Tropical Hibiscus Hybrids. 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 hibiscus seeds on offer. And before you throw away your money, keep in mind the following. There does not exist any true blue, nor any vivid emerald green or any rainbow colored hibiscus. These are all photoshopped images and without any exception these offers are scams. Also, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis cultivars will never come 100% true from seeds. If you are lucky enough, you will receive at least some hibiscus seeds (and not some other plant species you didnt' want). 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 - genetically this is simply impossible. Then 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. Last but not least, it should ring your alarm bells, if a particular seller uses "borrowed" photos from the web without giving any credit to the image copyright owner. In most cases a simple reversed Google image search will reveal the real source for a particular photo. Serious sellers will always use photos taken from their own plants, or at least they will give credit, if they use a photo from a different source. U.S. customers only: Hibiscus seeds cannot be shipped to the U.S. |

Hibiscus acetosella (Cranberry Hibiscus)150 (200)cm, Cranberry Hibiscus is only know from cultivation and it probably is an old stabilized hybrid between violet flowering Hibiscus radiatus as one parent and a yellow flowering second species, and not a hybrid of both yellow flowering Hibiscus asper and Hibiscus surattensis, what is commonly believed. Hibiscus acetosella is a woody perennial sub shrub with showy, dark maroon-red foliage and violet flowers throughout summer. Cooked young leaves are eaten as a vegetable in several parts of the world. For any rich, well drained substrate in a sunny spot throughout the year. In winter keep drier at a minimum of some 15°C.

Hibiscus arnottianus (Arnott's Hibiscus)200 (500)cm, Arnott's Hibiscus (Kokiʻo Kea or Koki'o Keokeo in Hawaiian language) is an evergreen tall shrub native of the Koʻolau mountains on Oʻahu island, Hawaii, USA. Hibiscus arnottianus is among the also Hawaiian endemic Hibiscus hannerae, Hibiscus immaculatus, Hibiscus punaluuensis and Hibiscus waimeae the only slightly violet or rose fragrant Hibiscus species in its genus. It has dark green, usually slightly glossy, glabrous leaves and quite large, pure white flowers with narrow petals and a long protruding reddish pistil. For any rich, well drained substrate in a partially shaded (summer) to sunny (winter) spot at a minimum of some 15°C. All plants offered as Hibiscus arnottianus with slightly rose or yellowish flowers are inevitably hybrids with Hibiscus x rosa-sinensis cultivars. The same applies to all white flowering plants with a reddish center - plants from true Hibiscus arnottianus always have a white center. Our plants are unhybridized, true-to-type and self-fertile with pure white flowers and a white center. Hibiscus arnottianus, the very closely related Hibiscus immaculatus, and Hibiscus punaluuensis have the narrowest petals of all Hawaiian endemic white flowering Hibiscus species. Any plant with significantly broader petals than the one shown in the photo from one of our mother plants is a hybrid or a wrongly identified different species. Even several Hawaiian based nurseries erroneously sell obviously hybridized plants with broad petals as pure Hibiscus arnottianus. The cultivar called Hibiscus arnottianus 'Wilders White' cultivar with broad petals is actually not a cultivar from the pure species, but a hybrid between Hibiscus arnottianus and possibly Hibiscus punaluuensis, and hence the correct naming would be Hibiscus 'Wilders White'. And to make confusion complete, some Hibiscus x rosa-sinensis hybrids with a red inner eye are being erroneously offered as 'Wilders White', whereas the real 'Wilder White' is entirely white, without any inner red eye. Be it as it is, from us you will get the true unhybridized species. VIII-XII. |

Hibiscus cameronii (Cameron's Hibiscus)100 (150)cm, Cameron's Hibiscus is an evergreen species from Madagascar, and extremely rare in cultivation. Hibiscus cameronii has soft woody branches with lobed leaves and showy, rather large light pink and white flowers with an inner wine red halo. In literature there is some confusion on this species as it is mentioned to be a parent of modern day Hibiscus x rosa-sinensis hybrids. Hibiscus cameronii belongs to section Furcaria whereas all Hibiscus x rosa-sinensis to section Lilibiscus, and these two sections do not hybridize at all with each other. The name "cameronii" (sometimes also spelled "cameroni") was misapplied to some early Hibisus liliflorus hybrid and does not refer to the true Hibiscus cameronii. For any rich, well drained substrate in full sun throughout the year and careful watering in winter at a minimum of 20°C. Germination in this species occurs unevenly over several weeks to months. Seeds are extremely scarce and you may not be able to locate them anywhere else but from us. III-IX. |

Hibiscus cannabinus (Kenaf Hibiscus)150 (200)cm, Kenaf Hibiscus is a fast-growing, tall annual or semi-perennial. It produces pale yellow flowers with a purplish-red center on prickly stems. Easily grown in any humus rich, well drained soil in a sunny position. Grow either as a perennial in pots and keep plants in full sun and cooler at a minimum of some 15°C in winter, or as an annual in the garden with precultivation in spring and transplantation after the last cold nights. Hibiscus cannabinus, Hibiscus furcellatus and Hibiscus radiatus are hopelessly confused by several other vendors. Our seeds are from correctly identified, yellow-flowering, true to type plants and offered at an all-time low price. VII-IX. |

Hibiscus cf. genevii (Rose Mauritius Mandrinette Hibiscus)150 (200)cm, Rose Mauritius Mandrinette Hibiscus is a rare and highly endangered, evergreen wild species from the island of Mauritius, where is was thought to be extinct until a couple of plants were rediscovered in 1968. The pure species has small leaves and rather large, very ornamental, pale rose flowers. In cultivation there is one genetic line present (our seeds) which most likely is of hybrid origin with probably Hibiscus boryanus as the second elder. Juvenile leaves in these plants are needle like and correspond to the species, however flowers have a somewhat different color with a more orange to salmon tinge. Hence we offer these seeds as Hibiscus cf. genevii, as the identity of these plants is still unclear. Easily grown in any rich, well drained substrate in full sun throughout the year and reduced watering in winter at a minimum of 20°C. Seeds from all Hibiscus species in section Lilibiscus (e.g Hibiscus arnottianus, Hibiscus cooperi, Hibiscus denisonii, Hibiscus fragilis, Hibiscus genevii, etc. ) germinate unevenly over a period of several months. Keep pots in a warm spot and the soil slightlly moist until germination will occur. IV-VII. |

Hibiscus cooperi 'Nasilai Pink'100 (250)cm, Hibiscus cooperi has been reinstated as a species of its own in 2019 and is endemic to Vanuatu in the southern Pacific Ocean. Nowadays it is very rare in habitat, however, it is still being grown in gardens in the Melanesia region. Hibiscus cooperi is one of the two parents of the original Hibiscus x rosa-sinensis, the other parent being Hibiscus kaute, which is endemic to the Marquesa islands, French Polynesia. Hibiscus cooperi is a low woody evergreen shrub with utmost showy, rose pink flowers with an inner red eye and a distinct white halo in the offered form 'Nasilai Pink'. This form can be traced back to cultivated plants found near the village of Nasilai (erroneously also spelled "Naselai"), Nakelo, Fiji island in 1965. In the garden trade Hibiscus cooperi is usually mistaken for Hibiscus storckii which is a different species and which is not present in cultivation. Additional, there is a Hibiscus x rosa-sinensis cultivar, namely 'Cooperi', which is often confused with the species. Even the Royal Botanical Garden at Kew cultivates wrongly identified Hibiscus cooperi in a white and rose form, and labeled as Hibiscus storckii. So if even Kew Gardens doesn't get it right with a proper identification ... Anyway, we do offer true to type seeds from Hibiscus cooperi 'Nasilai Pink'. However, please keep in mind that 'Nasilai Pink' is a particular color selection from Hibiscus cooperi and that this selection is not stable. This means that flowers from seed raised plants will not be identical to this selection. They will usually be very close, but with some variation in flower colors. Seeds from all Hibiscus species in section Lilibiscus (e.g Hibiscus arnottianus, Hibiscus cooperi, Hibiscus x denisonii, Hibiscus fragilis, Hibiscus genevii, Hibiskus kokio, Hibiscus mabberleyi, etc. ) germinate unevenly over a period of several months. Keep pots in a warm spot and the soil slightlly moist until germination will occur. For any rich, well drained substrate in full sun throughout the year and reduced watering in winter at a minimum of some 20°C. V-IX. |

Hibiscus fragilis (Orange Mauritius Mandrinette Hibiscus)70 (120)cm, Orange Mauritius Mandrinette Hibiscus is an orange flowering form which is known from a single population only in western Mauritius. Apart from the flower color it differs in several aspects from the nominal red form, having a more erect habit and bearing small leathery, more densely pubescent, mid green leaves. It will probably be separated as a subspecies in the closer future. Easily grown in any rich, well drained substrate in full sun throughout the year and reduced watering in winter at a minimum of 20°C. Seeds from all Hibiscus species in section Lilibiscus (e.g Hibiscus arnottianus, Hibiscus cooperi, Hibiscus fragilis, Hibiscus genevii, Hibiscus mabberleyi, Hibiscus waimeae, etc.) germinate unevenly over a period of several months. Keep pots in a warm spot and the soil slightly moist until germination will occur. A first time offer, and seeds are worldwide exlusively available from us. III-X. |

Hibiscus heterophyllus (Queensland Rosella Hibiscus)250 (450)cm, Queensland Rosella Hibiscus is one of the giant perennial Hibiscus species and simply impressive. It is native of New South Wales and Queensland, Australia. Hibiscus heterophyllus has semi-woody prickly stems, irregularly lobed to unlobed leaves covered with short hairs and showy, very large either yellow or pale pink (our seed stock) flowers with a dark red inner eye. For any rich, well drained substrate in a sunny spot throughout the year. In winter carefully water plants and keep them at a minimum of some 15°C. Several vendors (even some in Australia) falsely offer seeds from Hibiscus sabdariffa under the name of Hibiscus heterophyllus. Seed capsules in true Hibiscus heterophyllus never have any reddish tinge, nor are they succulent, but they will change from green to light beige-brown upon maturity. Also, true and almost tree-like Hibiscus heterophyllus exceeds by far the size of its more shrubby cousin Hibiscus sabdariffa. We offer seeds from the true species. VII-IX. |

Hibiscus insularis (Phillip Island Hibiscus)120 (200)cm, Phillip Island Hibiscus is one of the most endangered plant species in the world. Hibiscus insularis was down to just two genetically distinct specimens in habitat on Phillip Island, south of Norfolk Island, 1.400 km offshore eastern Australia. It is a medium tall evergreen shrub with leathery, shiny dark green leaves with crenulate margins and very showy, greenish-yellow flowers turning to dark rose at maturity, and with an reddish violet eye. On adult specimens flowers are set in abundance, yet seed set is extremely erratic despite careful hand pollination. Most plants in cultivation are from cuttings from the last two wild specimens, thus the genetic variation is extremely low in this species, and which may be the cause of a very low seed set. Also, germination in this species in unpredictable and it will take several months to almost an entire year. As a matter of fact, it is probably the most complicated species we have to get going from seeds. Our seeds were collected in March 2024 and are as fresh as they can be. Each single seed is visually inspected and all potentially unviable seeds are discarded. Germination tests yielded a germination rate between 15% to 25% under optimal conditions. However, we cannot give any guarantee on germination. In the best case you may be able to raise some 1 to 2 seedlings from one seed package, in the worst case there will be no germination at all. So be prepared not to have any success! Sowing is the very same as for other tropical Hibiscus species. Prior to sowing preferably soak seeds for 48 h in luke warm water. Use any rich, well drained substrate and keep pots at around 25°C in a partially shaded spot. In their first years seedlings will look very differently from adult plants. Leaves in immature plants will be very small and strongly lobed, upon maturity leaves will develop their adult and more round shape. For any rich, well drained substrate in a partially shaded (summer) to sunny (winter) spot at a minimum of some 20°C. V-X. |

Hibiscus mabberleyi spec. nov. (Mabberley's Hibiscus)180 (240)cm, Mabberley's Hibiscus is an in 2023 new described species which is extinct in nature, where it was supposedly native to some Mascarene islands. Few specimens are still grown by botanical gardens and a handful of private cultivators, where this species had been labelled Hibiscus denisonii until recently. Hibiscus mabberleyi has finely pubescent leaves. There are at least two genetic lines still alive in cultivation, one with white flowers upon opening, later fading to very pale rose (photo), and a second and much rarer one with flowers which will stay white. The rose flowering form is sometimes confused with Hibiscus x denisonii or Hibiscus storckii, which both are different taxa. All plants sold as Hibiscus storckii are in fact Hibiscus cooperi. Easily grown in any rich, well drained substrate in full sun throughout the year and reduced watering in winter at a minimum of 20°C. True to type seeds are worldwide exclusively available from Rareplants.eu . Seeds from all Hibiscus species in section Lilibiscus (e.g Hibiscus arnottianus, Hibiscus cooperi, Hibiscus x denisonii, Hibiscus fragilis, Hibiscus genevii, Hibiscus mabberleyi, etc.) germinate unevenly over a period of several months. Keep pots in a warm spot and the soil slightlly moist until germination will occur. Seeds are extremely scarce and they are supplied on a first-come-first-served basis. The tested germination rate is > 80% in this species under optimal conditions. VI-X. |

It is a fast growing ornamental plant with prostate to upright hold stems with for the size of the plant rather large, bright pink flowers on very long peduncles. Hibiscus pedunculatus is morphologically undistinguishable from Hibiscus geranioides which is a supposedly native of northern Australia. However, Hibiscus geranioides is an unresolved name, and it most likely represents Hibiscus pedunculatus which may have escaped from cultivation in Australia and became naturalized. For any rich, well drained substrate in a sunny spot. In winter reduce watering and keep plants at a minimum of some 20°C.

Hibiscus punaluuensis (Fragrant White Aloalo Hibiscus)250 (500)cm, Fragrant White Aloalo Hibiscus (syn. Hibiscus arnottianus ssp. punaluuensis) is an endangered, tall evergreen woody shrub native of the Ko'olau Range on O'ahu, Hawaii, USA. It is one out of few slightly fragrant Hibiscus species which are all endemic to the Hawaiian archipielago. Hibiscus punaluuensis has dark green, large oval leaves and showy slightly fragrant pure white flowers with a long protruding reddish pistil. Whereas most hibiscus species in section Lilibiscus can be easily propagated by semi woody stem cuttings, for us this has proven extremely difficult in Hibiscus punaluuensis, as only one out of several dozens cuttings may eventually root. So the easier way for propagation is via seeds. Our seeds are from pure, unhybridized, true-to-type plants. For any rich, well drained substrate in a partially shaded (summer) to sunny (winter) spot at a minimum of some 15°C. VI-X. |
