If you know someone with a plant ask for a root around 6 inch's long lay it long ways about an inch deep. That's how I got red color. But haven't been able to order Roots any more been years ago when I got mine my sister wanted some I gave her Roots she still has hers . A flower show said she can't find the ones I got.

I have abot 100 seeds from my purple " dinner plate" luna this yr..seeds are chilling now. I treat them the same as my daylily seeds. I put about a half of cap full of peroxide in the water when soaking.

I have gotten an almost 100% germination rate by soaking in water in a Tupperware container for a week or two, changing out the water every few days. Figured this out on accident. I had totally forgotten about them and all of a sudden they were all germinated in the container. So excited.

Diane Mumm Garden Videos yes I accidentally forgot about them and they stayed in there for about 2 weeks. I changed out the water every few days or so and in about 2 weeks they were all sprouted. I planted them and now they are about 10-12” tall.

Diane, To plant seeds like hybiscus, peppers, rose of sharon etc I use a pencil. Touch the eraser to the soil, put it on the seed and it will stick to the eraser. Move over to the cell pack and push the seed into the ground equal to the narrow dimension of the width. use the pointy end to back fill after the cell packs all have seeds in them. Water from the bottom every few days but not so often as to make the soil soggy.

The seeds have a very hard covering. After the the cooling process, put the seeds in a pickle jar with aquarium gravel and shake about 5 minutes. That helps to break the hard covering allowing germination

I saved the seeds from a number of plants last fall, stuck them in the freezer for a month, let them thaw for a few weeks, stuck them in the freezer again. Early this years I planted them in sixteen packs, around twenty seeds per cell some cells produced seedlings within a couple of weeks, some cells have taken four or more months to show any sign of life bur they are now full of little plants. It is August in Colorado and I'm wondering what to do with the plants over the winter? They seem too small to survive outside. (I planted a "grown from seed" plant outside last year, it did not survive.)

In the fall I will definitely save some seeds and try the paper towel germination method. I may have missed it in your video but when should I place my seeds in the paper towels? Jan, Feb, Mar? Also, approximately how tall should the seedlings be before I transplant them in the ground? Thank you so much for all your help and I did subscribe :).

Well I think I learned something, imagine that as old as I am. Did you say that these Hibiscus come back from ground level. I always thought of them as shrubs or trees didn't know there was a perennial variety that comes back from the ground level. The only one that I know of that is hearty enough for this area is, Rose Of Sharon Bush or Althea Bush Hibiscus syriacus, I don't have one but there is a very old one at my aunt's house.

Plants often bloom from seed in their first year and will often self seed in suitable soil conditions. Division: Perennial hibiscus can be divided in spring. Be careful working around the soft new shoots. They do not usually tolerate fall division or transplanting
