CLOSED: Offering Hibiscus acetosella cuttings for postage
I would be interested in trying this. How much would postage be? (42339)
Depends on how many you want and how large you want them
You've got D-mail : )
ct how would you root these? dirt? could you send them in a bubble mailer?
You can root in water or with rooting powder....i could send smaller cuttings in a bubble mailer if you want.
I'd love to have some but I am having absolutely zero luck with rooting cuttings this year, it's starting to annoy me
Trinawitch, i can get some rooted and let you know when they are ready.
only if it's not a hassle for you....I'm serious usually I can get anything to root this year I couldn't even get a Philo or a golden pothos to root! now tha's bad!
Trina, I will root a golden pothos for you, if you need help!! ; )
that is one I don't need! Lol I have like 8 of those and they are hanging every where! Now I think I know why nothing would root for me...I think I got a bad batch of rooting hormone...but since most nurseries are closed down around me will have to wait until spring to get some new stuff, unless I want to drive 200 miles to get some...LOL
Is this a Hardy or Tropical.
Hardy from zones 8-11
I would love to try some, it is almost like my Sugar Maple but with lighter colored flowers. I hope sending it at this time of year doesn't kill them in the mail. I would be glad to pay the postage or whatever is needed.
Thanks for the offer
Robin
oh wow robin you live out by my other property....we could be neighbors (well almost) LOL
Where that at trina
Dent County...off of I-44 , and then a few more dirt roads to get there...LOL
what town are you by?
I believe (don't quote me I haven't been there in awhile) Steator, but I graduated from Waynesville
Yep, that's a hop, skip and a jump from me.
Carol,
Living in New Jersey I would not consider this Hibiscus without a heated greenhouse but I was curious about the color of the flowers. Are the flowers on you plant pink or red? In the pictures posted in DG there is quite a bit of variation in flower and leaf color and leaf shape.
Mike
The flowers are red....this is a pic of mine
ctbig,
You have a different variety than mine,
but they are both lovely!
Yes, they are!!!! I LOVE Hibiscus!!!!
I have some seeds I am about to start, so these will be a first for me, a little nervous about it.
DG lists 4 cultivates for Hibiscus acetosella species:
Family: Malvaceae, Genus: Hibiscus, Species: acetosella
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/b/Malvaceae/Hibiscus/acetosella/cultivar/0/
Two of these cultivates, “Haight Ashbury” and “Maple Sugar”, have plant patented so they are not wild specimens.
It appears the pink flower and red flower forms of Hibiscus acetosella are being discussed here, with the red flower cultivar most likely being the form known as “Red Shield”. Of all of the photographs of Hibiscus acetosella posted on DG the cultivar being grown by DG member “mjsponies” is the most interesting because of its flower and leaf color and leaf conformation.

There is confusion as to exactly which Hibiscus acetosella cultivar is the official species specimen. To make things more interesting, several plant breeders including John Ruter, of the University of George, Tifton, GA, are doing breeding research with Hibiscus acetosella and registering plant patents.

Hibiscus plant named ‘Panama Red’ (PP20121)
Hibiscus ‘Panama Red’ is an ornamental variety, crossed and cultivated in Georgia. The plants of the new Hibiscus display an intense red color in high light, deeply cut foliage, stable foliage.
Hibiscus plant named ‘Maple Sugar’ (PP16286)
A new and distinct Hibiscus plant named ‘Maple Sugar’, characterized by its upright and outwardly spreading plant habit; relatively large burgundy-colored leaves; and burgundy-colored flowers.
Hibiscus plant named ‘Haight Ashbury’ (PP19228)
A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named ‘Haight Ashbury’, characterized by its upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit; freely branching habit; and maple leaf-shaped.
There appears to be considerable genetic variability in the Hibiscus acetosella genome which is being exploited as demonstrated by these plant patents.

Michael! Michael! I always learn something new whenever you post. I love checking out the web sites you posted. I'm learning so much about hibs. Keep it up!!!
Mary
Thanks Mike, I'm glad to know a little more about the 'Maple Sugar' which is the one I have, which I posted earlier the wrong way.
If someone else has some seeds left from this plant I sure would like to try this one. Never saw it before!
