30 Hibiscus Seeds for Planting – Rare Fairy Dust Blooms, Stunning Hibiscus Flowers, Heirloom Seed - Perennial Flower Seeds for Outdoor Garden, Containers and Flower Beds

Absolutely wonderful but plant did not grow! Thank you so very much for your kindness and consideration which is greatly appreciated. Much gratitude and many blessings. Thank you.

I researched and followed every step meticulously. I soaked the seeds, I covered some them with a damp paper towel. I scoured the outter shell to give them the oportunity to sprout. I did everything and not a single seed sprouted, NOT ONE!!! I am so disappointed. I was really looking forward to such a beatiful plant to add to my garden.

My wife scoured the internet on how to properly set the stage and germinate properly before taking on the task. She soaked the seeds in shallow water for 72 hours...then gently pinched each seed to make it more permeable to water. Once done...we used a good branded seed starter soil. Planted two seeds per cup, as you can see, in red bottom cups. Then used clear cups on top to create the hot house effect. We have a room in the front of the house that gets a lot of sun, so we placed on a table placed in front of the window. You can see the results after two weeks. Of the 40 seeds planted, 39 sprouted. We have now separated each plant into it's own cup and all are thriving and growing...some faster than others. There are some approaching 4 inches in height. We are doing this in stages , following directions and hopefully we will have so many, that we can share with some friends. I would like to believe we are on the right path.

This photo of the flower is so beautiful so I bought it. Sprouting 10 seeds indoors by a sunny window in 5 of those 6" takeout plastic tubs. A few weeks now and only 1 sprouted. I will pamper that precious sprout and hoping it will flourish. I'm guessing if you put the tubs on a heating growing pad of some sort, maybe the results would be better. I've been gardening for decades so I should have gotten at least 50% sprout rate imo.

started a dozen in jul and transplanted in aug to get some root growth before winter. had 100% germination on seeds I planted and look forward to Spring

I got the seeds in a timely manner. Most seeds didn’t work and when they did, they were not what they supposed to look like. What did come are pretty.

1. Germinate indoors. Hibiscus seeds can take a long time to germinate depending on your plant hardiness zone, so you’ll need to jump-start the process indoors (around two to three months before the last frost date). Germinate the seeds by using a knife to nick the round end of the hard seed coating, which will allow more moisture to enter and speed up the germination process. Soak the seeds in room temperature water anywhere from one to eight hours. 2. Plant in a tray or pot. Choose a potting soil or seed-starting mix for your germinating seeds. Plant seeds about a quarter-inch deep in your potting mix, and keep in warm, sunny conditions—at least 75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. After two to three weeks, your hibiscus seedlings should sprout. As your hibiscus plants grow indoors, you’ll need to place them into bigger pots to accommodate their increasing size. Hibiscus have extremely fragile stems before they become fully established plants, so avoid planting outdoors until they are strong enough to survive adverse weather. 3. Harden off. Once your hibiscus seedlings have grown a few true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, you can start to harden off your plants by taking them outside to acclimate for a few hours a day. 4. Transplant and water. Dig a hole in your garden soil large enough to accommodate the hibiscus root ball and loosen the soil up to one foot deep. Set the plant inside of the hole so that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Begin filling the hole with soil then stop at the halfway point. Soak the soil thoroughly then continue filling the hole with soil. Do not place any soil on top of the root ball to avoid suffocating the plant. Deeply water the planting area.

Great

I tried several different ways to get them to germinate. Only one worked. I took 10 seeds and nicked them with a sharp knife. Then I soaked them in water for 24 and then 48 hours. None of them germinated. I changed the water and let them soak for three more days. Nothing happened. I tossed that lot out. Then I took 10 more seeds tried gently rubbing the seed on a fine sandpaper and soaking them. Same story as above. NADA! The only method that worked was to soak a paper towel wring it out but leaving it pretty damp, then sandwiching the seeds in the paper towel, put them in a baggy and lay them on top of a Vivosun heat mat for three days. Of the 12 seeds, 4 sprouted and are now growing. How viable most of the seeds are is debatable. Personally, I'll feel lucky if I can manage to get 4 healthy plants out of this, but my guess is that the seeds are old. <Added August 27, 2024> I hate being taken for a fool! The blooms are a very pale (solid) pink ... NOTHING like the picture and nothing like what I paid for. You can barely see the blooms from the street. I wanted a "statement piece". Instead I got run of the mill boring. I feel cheated! Shame on this seller. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!

There is no what photo I send to you

I ordered seeds . They arrived on time but so far none have grown ...... however it has only been1 week and I do not know if they will grow or not ......I will have to wait and see

I grow all my flowers and vegetables from seed. Had no trouble germinating these seeds. Definitely not Hibiscus plants. Should have heeded reviews. Save your money.

i googled instructions on how to germinate the seeds. i found that if u soak the seeds overnight and then nick the, it made the waxy coating softer and easier to nick. Update: - after i had soaked and then nicked the seeds - planted them about 1/2" deep and placed them on top of the fridge for bottom heat. within 2 days they sprouted. i've couted 4 so far.
