i forgot to mention, taking stem tip cuttings in june before they have started to make buds is very easy and I have had success with rooting them this year that way. I took 8 cuttings and 6 made it.The other 2 would have if I wouldnt have let them dry out.
I took 6" tip cuttings, dipped them in rooting hormone, placed them under an aquarium for about 2 weeks and then started hardening them off by leaving them outside of the aquarium for a couple hours then started making the intervals outside the aquarium longer.
Now they are all rooted, ive repotted some and they are really taking off. Overall it takes about a month for a cutting to get going and about 2-3 months before its ready to plant.
You can also carefully dig around the edge of the hibiscus and tease a stem off that has some roots on it and pot it up so it can grow more roots and then plant it.
Propagating hardy hibiscus is fairly easy, its too bad there isnt more information about it online.
