You will get a mix of the Red & the White Seeds... These are very easy to grow and will come back year after year!! Hibiscus coccineus is better known as the Texas Star Hibiscus. It has large, single, red flowers about 4 to 7 inches in diameter that appear atop branches of palmately lobed leaves with three to seven segments. Culture is very easy, with well-drained soil, an annual application of fertilizer in spring or early summer, and a sunny location being most important. Texas Star Hibiscus may be propagated from seed or cuttings. Mulching the plants in wintertime prevents root injury during very cold weather. Old stems, if they freeze, should be pruned back to the ground in early spring. Even if frost damage has not occurred, it is still a good idea to prune back and shape the plants before growth begins. Water thoroughly with a spray bottle, getting the soil quite damp. Keep the pot in a sunny location where it receives up to one hour of direct sunlight each day (any more could bake the seeds). Keep the soil good and moist. Look for the seeds to germinate within 10 to 14 days. Allow the plants to grow for four or five days and then thin by removing the smallest of the plants and leaving the largest and strongest. Plant outside immediately when all possibility of frost has passed. Dig a hole with your trowel large enough to hold the soil and roots from the sprouting pots, mix a trowel full of potting soil into the hole and plant in a sunny location. Do not compact the soil more than necessary around the plants. Water with a sprinkler until the ground is soaking wet. Allow the ground to dry slightly and then water frequently for large, abundant flowers. Your Texas red star hibiscus should start blooming within three to a maximum of four weeks. Cut the plants back to 4 inches from the ground after the first frost. If plants are growing in zones 7 through 11, your Texas red star hibiscus will regrow in the spring following the last frost.
