BTW, for those who got seed from me - the full name is Hibiscus coccineus alba ‘Lone Star’
And I found htis information on propagating from seed that might be helpful:
To grow plants from seeds, collect the capsules when they begin to dry — but before they open and drop the seeds. The capsules ripen intermittently throughout the long flowering period, allowing you to harvest seeds several times during the year.
Sow the seeds at various times and/or store them for up to a year in a cool, dry place. You might share seeds with friends and neighbors because this plant attracts birds and butterflies.
You can sow outdoors where you'd like new plants when the soil is warm, or sow in containers and later transplant outdoors after frost.
Some gardeners nick the rounded seed top before sowing to encourage germination. Sow about 1/4 inch deep in a soil that drains well, and carefully water.
'Texas Star' likes sun but appreciates some afternoon shade. A sandy, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter is ideal.
This plant likes water during hot, dry spells and responds to a balanced fertilizer, especially when grown in lean soils.

Propagation: By seeds or root division. Seeds should be punctured with a needle or scraped with a file before planting.
