I am currently looking for starters or seed from what I will refer to as dinner plate hibiscus. Yes I know please keep the technical info to a minimum. I want any color cultivar producing flowers ranging from 8 to 12 inches. I would like for them to be as close to hardy at zone 8 with minimal protection as possible. If you have any that meEt these specs im interested.

Almost any hardy hibiscus should meet the bill as to bloom size and hardiness. Every color of pink, red, white, purple, and some mixed.

edit-I will be happy to save some seed for you this season. Let me know color desires. You can look through my gallery to see the plants themselves.

Thanks howard. Couldnt navigate that well from my device to reply here. tried to send a pm. I have only had the tropical fancy type. I have obtained some hardy hibiscus plants from upstate newyork . I will post pics when or if they bloom this year. They are a good size. I wouldn't mind more colors besides red. Im assuming mine red.
