Bought this one for 4 bucks a couple years ago at Walmart. Now it is massive. Doesnt die back during the winter.

What is that pretty pink one - 2nd picture?

Not a clue. Some seeds someone gave me last year. Large dinner plate sized blooms.

Absolutely beautiful!

Beautiful, I went out and checked my hardies and some of them do have some buds on them. Maybe before long I will be having some flowers to share.

Those dinner plate sized ones...do they like full sun? Mine never get very tall.
I thought I would put a tape measure up to one and give an idea just how nice and big those are...I have a cutting of a pink one..can't wait for it to bloom.

Lisa, your bloomin' hibiscus are beautiful! Did you see my picture of my "Kopper King"? I love them since they have the burgandy/green leaves and the dinner plate flower is so-o-o pretty.

Rjudd, do you remember the name of yours? I also have the pink like Lisa grew from seeds, but I don't remember the name either - a sort of mallow, I think.

Ooooooooo Randy, you are showing off my hibiscus.....cant wait to have seed. She certainly is a beauty

Houston, TX(Zone 9a)

Unfortuneatly I don't know the name, but I can ask my friend - who I got the cuttings from..When I first saw them at his house, I couldn't believe the size as I had never seen them before..LOVE them.. Thanks I am going to plant the pink one now...

Jackie, I think you gave me a couple cuttings last winter, as I have several growing ..(in the Jackie garden hahahah) I think you nearly filled up an entire flower bed..! I don't remember taking any cuttings of mine and putting them there.

Hi, Rylaff!

I have 10 or 12 different hardy hibiscus against my white fence that are now just starting to bud! Can hardly wait till they are all in bloom! ;+>)

Randy , I dont think the one you pictured is the same as I gave you, it looks different.......when I said "mine" I meant as in "I want it".......this is the one I sent you

I'm going to take photos, Rylaff, when they are all in bloom, and post 'em! Will be several more weeks yet before the real show starts, I expect.

Oh my my my.

Rylaff,
Beautiful blooms. I can't wait for mine to bloom. I have 11 plants that I have had for 3 years, and I planted > 24 plants this year, they are tiny, we'll see what happens.

I only have hardy hibiscus, someday when I get more space to overwinter my plants indoors I will get into the others.

Enjoy those beautiful blooms, I have a few buds but no flowers as of yet.
