Texas Star hibiscus seeds...

Randy4ut · 08-30-2008, 10:31 AM

Well, my Texas Star hibiscus plants, (Hibiscus coccineus) are really putting out the seeds now. I have harvested some of both my red and white ones. I had two plants that I overwintered in pots in my garage from last fall and planted out this spring. I also had great success growing them from seeds that I started in Jan./Feb. The seeds I started this year grew into plants that are blooming their heads off right now. Before I go to the trouble of gathering more seeds, I wanted to see if anyone is interested in trying these GREAT looking plants for themselves. If anyone is interested in starting them from seed, send me a pm. If not, I am not going to go to the trouble of gathering anymore seeds.

I may have a couple of small potted plants that I would part with if someone wanted to pay shipping on them. Otherwise, I only have seeds...

Just thought I would offer these to my friends on Bananas.org!!!

Randy I didnt know what this plant was till I saw this post!!
My neighbor gave it to me a couple of months ago. Either I forgot what she said it was , or she didnt know either!

It started making pods and I thought "well this will be interesting"!
At least now people will stop thinking its a weed plant! Yea right! Like I would grow that right out in full view!!

I'll shoot you a pm for the white seeds should you have anymore. Thanks
Here's a couple pictures of mine. It just bloomed this morning......................

mg, they are so pretty.

They are beautiful but no way I could grow them unless I had the police over for a BBQ on a regular basis so they could check me out. We have such a bad marijuana problem out here. Even some farmers are growing it as they can't make ends meet farming. Planes fly over and one time we had a helicoptor make a nose dive in the field next to us. Boy was that loud. Shoot... I'm probably suspicious enough with my plant room glowing in the evenings with grow lights in the winter.
