Don, I have tons of seeds of your yellow hibiscus if you want more or anyone else on this thread dmail me and I'll send for SASE.

Donna, hibiscus really are easy to grow from seed. Here is how I do it. I use a window box and fill it with ProMix BX (peat based potting mix .. absolutely no dirt/soil) then sow the seeds just underneath the potting mix. When they put on their first set of true leaves I transplant them into its own little pot. When I see roots coming out the bottom it gets a bigger pot or put in the ground. Ever since I quit using dirt for potting up plants and starting seeds I have had much better results.

The picture below is of seeds I got in a trade last week. They were coming up 4 days after I planted them. I transplanted them into their little pots today.
