Trimming my Hibiscus, Cuttings for You?

I just received a tip from my gardening tipster that I should be trimming my hibiscus back now. I have 2 and they are:

1. Double Red
2. Double Peach

Anyone for some clippings? They are easy to root, just put in a glass of water and watch them take off.

Postage or trade is good.

Can I send postage??Thanks

Sure Marclay, postage is fine. You can get one of the $3.85 stamps that will cover a 1lb box. Any choice of colors or how many?

My address is in Dave's address exchange, I will post that link above. Please just include your name, address and DG name when you send it.

Molly

I'd like some of both
I have a double orange/yellow(no name ),variegated (with red bloom),and regular red to trade if you want

I would love some of both colors. I can trade cuttings of a double lavender Rose of Sharon or do postage. I am preparing cuttings of the ROS for some trades this week so I can get these out tomorrow or Friday.

Please let me know...

Sheila

I too would like some of both colors....I love Hibiscus and would love to pot grow some in my sunroom and decks...

Let me know where to send Postage pleeease...??
Thanks Bunches,
Carolyn

I'd love some clippings for postage if I may. I'd like some of both if possible, thank you so very much, Doris

Crested Chik & Sheila, the trades sound great, my address is listed in the first post with a link.

Please email me your's and these will go out shortly.

Doris & Carolyn, see my address in first post link. I have mailing labels ready to go when $3.85 for 1lb box postage arrives.

Molly

It is in the envelope and will go out first thing in the morning.

Thanks Bunches,

Sheila,

Been watching for a posting or an email. We are leaving to go to the Tennessee Roundup/plant swap and for a weeks vacation. We will return on 5/26. Although we have someone at the house to take care of packages and things, I won't be there to return a box to you until then.

CrestedChik, I mailed your box yesterday and emailed you about this as well.

I believe everyone else expressing an interest in these has been in touch with me.

I will see ya when I return, and thank you all for the trades. It's always such fun.

Hi Interested in both colors and will be gone three days also. Shirley

Hi,
The address listing is a new area of Daves Garden for me! Will have to keep checking out new areas (for me!) here. I will get this in the mail tomorrow. I'm in no big hurry.

Have a safe trip!

Sheila

Marclay, I shipped your clippings today. I hope you enjoy them.

:^)))
Molly

I gotta get mine out,is it OK if I mail Saturday?

Sure CC, no problem.

:^)
Molly

How you do clipping to make root that, I just got 2 Hibiscus

Good Morning Redrose,

Simply put in a glass of water on your windowsill. Change the water every couple of days. It takes quite a while but it does work.

Then when you plant them in a pot, keep them away from your dogs.

Molly

Ok cut on leaf stem off right?

Molly! I just saw this post. Do you have any cuttings left? I would LOVE to have both, but only can do postage. I don't have many perennials to trade yet.
Thanks!
Yvonne

Are there any left? I would love some of either color!
I can only do postage..
Thanks
Val

Yvonne & Val, go ahead and send me the $3.85 stamp and I'll ship some off in the 1lb box. Give me your real name and DG name and what for when you send it to me okay? I sorted out the clippings and took my best guess separating the red from peach, but no guarantees. Let me know if this is not okay.

I butchered the bushes yesterday, probably nipped them in the bud, but they have the rest of the summer to recuperate.
I also cut my fountain grass way back to the ground too, they were hoggin my canna lily space.

Redrose, when I do it, I clip off many of the leaves. I've seen it written that it gives the plant more time to concentrate on growing roots by removing all the leaves, but I leave a couple leaves on so it looks a little prettier than a stick in a glass. I'm rooting some gardenia sticks now. The plant has thrown off all the leaves it doesn't want and the sticks are now starting new little buds. I hope this helps you.
