Mystery passalong

Jacksonville, FL(Zone 9a)

This is a passalong I would like to identify. The buds are sort of peachy then the flowers open to a lovely pale pink.

Howse about if I share a cutting with you; but let's wait until the weather cools down. I was in Houston last week and it was pretty uncomfortable there. Way too hot and sticky to have to baby a cutting.
D-mail me your address and one day you will find a searcy (suprise) in your mailbox.

Do cuttings root easily?? Looks like a sort of Rose of Sharon maybe?? I was gonna say Confederate Rose but they have leaves more like a Maple or something of that sort. It IS very pretty and dainty!! Bonnie

It looks exactly like my Double Pink Rose of Sharon. Hibiscus Syriacus.

If you look it up in plant files Hibiscus Syriacus and look at all 34 pictures it is the last one exactly.

Thanks PudgyMudpies.

How did you see 34 pictures? I only get on or two per page of the H. syriacus - and there were 7 pages. I am obviously doing something wrong here.
Did the Hibiscus you saw pictured have a cultivar name? It might be easier for me to find it that way.
Thanks for the info.

I am so sorry. I was trying to hurry and get off computer.

Go to plant files, click on go to plant files. Then in the paragraph I click on generalized search. Type in Hibiscus syriacus
Click on the very first one Hibiscus syriacus and scroll all the way to bottom. On the right you will see view all 34 pictures and click. Scroll all the way to the last picture on the left.

I would love a cutting that is beautiful.I have a double mauve I can trade cuttings with you

Bonnie,

Cuttings from hibiscus root very easily. You can either put your cutting in water, then in strong indirect light and wait OR you can put it in soil, cover the whole thing with a large, clear plastic baggie (I really like the new 2 gallon baggies!!), putthe whole thing in strong indirect light and wait.

Either way chances are you'll have roots anywhere from 2 weeks to 7 months (the shortest and longest waits I've had).
