He's a surveyor and the hoes were going to dig them out to put in a new subdivision. Very pretty. Are they leggy in part sun?

Beautiful plants. Will grow in sun. I had one and my yardman cut it off and it never came back-have been hunting another one since. Always had them at home and not seen very much anymore.

Hibiscus, did you mean that you start cuttings in jars of water or in starting mix or by layering etc?

I would like to have more of them too. I didn't get them in the ground very fast and with the heat right now I'm hoping one makes it. A few are pruned like trees and some are like bushes.

I put cuttings outside in the ground, now. Jars over, semi shade so they don't cook. Have one growing in my starting bed from last yrear. Should I be starting more? Have traded two out.
LMK.

Guess I should be trying to start new ones too. My DH went on a weed eating rampage last summer and took one of ours to the ground. Parts are starting to come back now but slowly. I got mine from a lady who helped to get me started in raising flowers and is now deceased. She promised we would be together again in heaven so I think of her and how she is probably raising flowers for JESUS now in heaven.

Oh hibiscus, you don't need to start any for me. I just wondered how to do it so I can propagate my own. Thanks for the idea of the canning jar. I will have to try it.

Hibiscus, Do you have one for trade or will you have one in the near future? I've always wanted one but could never get any cutting's to root..

Thx, Dixiechick
