100 Seeds gathered in the Fall, 2023, for 2024 planting. Can only ship to the mainland 48 states.

Double Bloom Rose of Sharon Seeds. This variety of hibiscus is easy to grow, likes full sun, is deer, pest, and disease resistant, and does well in zones 5 through 9.

They are so pretty and bloom from mid-July through much of the fall or longer, depending on when the temperatures dip into freezing.

Hummingbirds, butterflies, honey bees, and bumblebees love these plants. They are great pollinators.

This has lacy, lavender double blooms beginning the second year.

Mature plants can grow up to 10+ feet tall and almost as wide but are easy to prune to the size and shape you want.

Seeds are easy to germinate. They will start growing when the soil is warm enough and they have sufficient moisture, so you can start them early inside or in flower pots outside in the spring. Plant in a garden pot with half an inch of garden soil sprinkled and pressed lightly down on top. Keep watered and soil moist.

See pictures of baby plants in pot around the larger plant. I had a hibiscus in a large pot that I hadn't moved into the ground yet. I sprinkled seeds in the pot around the plant and covered lightly with potting soil. 

It took a while, and I about gave up on them, but then they popped up all at once. When they were a few inches tall, I planted them into several pots (see photos).  These were later moved into larger pots as they quickly outgrew the pots in the pictures. They grew to over 2 feet tall over the summer, and some were then planted into the ground this fall, and others are wintering in pots.

You can find very detailed growing instructions by googling "How to grow rose of Sharon from seeds." It will bring up some great videos.

Note: you won't get blooms the first year and only a few the second year, but your plant will make up for it every year after. 

The plant will die back to sticks in the winter. You cut those back to close to the ground in the early spring. You'll think your plant has died as it's one of the last plants to pop through the ground, not appearing until early summer. But then it will grow very fast. I prune the huge bush I have down to about 3 feet tall, but I don't prune the young plants.

The seeds are from a plant with very pretty lavender blooms, but my camera makes the flowers look pinker than they are. It is a purple lavender.

Enjoy.
