Outsidepride Hibiscus Luna Flower Seed Mix - 10 Seeds

Hibiscus (Hibiscus Moscheutos Luna Mix) - With bright 6 - 8 inch blooms of pink, red, rose, and white and dark green foliage, this perennial is an absolute eye-catcher! Grown from Hibiscus seed, it is a compact, well-branched plant that is ideal for container plantings and landscape use. It reaches 24 - 36 inches tall and 24 inches wide and has a long bloom season. Once established, hardy Hibiscus withstands a variety of environmental conditions although it prefers a weekly deep watering. Hibiscus care includes deadheading the blooms to keep the plant producing more flowers all summer and into the fall. Growing this Hibiscus flower seeds mix is not complicated. Start the flower seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost is predicted. Most gardeners recommend nicking the seeds with a knife and soaking them over night in warm water. Sow the flower seeds into small pots or starter trays using well-draining, sterile potting mix. Lightly cover the seed and keep moist, but not soggy. The seeds can actually rot if the soil is too wet. Keeping the temperature consistently warm and the soil consistently moist will aid germination. After seedlings have developed and there are several sets of true leaves with the stems having begun to harden and become woody, the young Hibiscus plant can be moved to larger pots or to a protected place in the garden. These tender young plants should be introduced to the sun gradually over several days. At this point a water soluble fertilizer can be used.
