Confederate Rose (Hibiscus mutabilis)

I don't know how easy this is to start from seed, but thought I'd offer it up. This is the double pink from my backyard in Houston. Mine is in a big pot and is currently about 6 feet tall. Leaves are now coming back after the winter.

If you want to try to grow it send me a personal message with your address.

Update: seeds have been taken. No more are available at this time.

I live in Iowa. I know this will not over winter here outside but I would like to try growing it in a container and bring it in to over winter it. I am sending you a T-mail. Thanks,

I have two packets left.......

@LynneHTx Hi Lynne...I am also in zone 9b. Would love to give the seeds a try if you have any left. Thanks!

@LynneHTx, I'm in zone 8 & would like to try growing one from seed, if you have enough. My sister had been looking for a hot (I think) pepper & was talking to my husband about them. My husband grew up around Galveston, Alta Loma, & Houston & said it was a pepper that grew wild there & that they called it turkey pepper because it had to be digested to germinate & turkeys ate them. Yet our local feed/seed store had never heard of them & couldn't order them!!!!

@kathy547 The pepper that grows wild here (usually a gift from the birds) is chile pequin.

Bird Pepper (Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum)

They are sold in the native plant nurseries here in Houston.

Received seeds, thank you so much!!!!! Looks like I owe you just one forever stamp for postage, right?

No postage due. Glad you received the seeds.

Thank you SO much!!!!!!

Hi Lynne,
Was wondering if you have any seeds left. Thanks s.o much. Look forward to hearing from you,

Bea
