Hibiscus furcellatus. I purchased this as a seedling last year and this is it's first bloom.

@Horntoad, I assume JCMG is a master gardener's sale, besides there, where are you finding such a variety of hibiscus?

JCMG is Jefferson County Master Gardener's.
Hibiscus moscheutos subsp. moscheutos, Hibiscus moscheutos subsp. lasiocarpos and Hibiscus laevis grow wild locally. I picked up Creole Lady at JCMG sale and the other H. rosa-sinensis came from Lowes. The rest came from scouring the internet for suppliers . You might be surprised at what you can find when you look enough. They don't always come cheap, but hard rare hard to find plants are worth it to me. They most expensive part for me has been shipping.

I spend every night from 11 till wee hours looking for plants online, lol The shipping is ridiculous on most,
I picked up 5 today to replace what I lost last summer while in hub's care,
I would love to go down your way south and find some of the wild ones,
I know that's not realistic but how lucky you are

Hibiscus paramutabilis.

I got two more in the mail this week and ordered 11 more last night.

Hibiscus grandiflorus


Hibiscus aculeatus


Hibiscus coccineus 'Alba'

I like that pink on paramutabilis.

My mouth dropped open when I saw this one: huge bloom and so, so very pretty!



Someone told me that it is peppermint flare.

"This amazing introduction from Texan Greg Grant is topped all summer with huge 9" flowers which emerge light pink and age to white, except for the wild red flecking throughout the petals...attractive to hummingbirds. Hibiscus 'Peppermint Flare' is a floral sport from Sam McFadden's University of Florida release, the nearly sterile hybrid Hibiscus 'Flare'. Our plants have matured out at 4' tall x 4' wide. Hibiscus 'Peppermint Flare' is very tolerant of alkaline soils...as long as they aren't too dry."

It looks a lot like it to me.

The last of my June Blooms.

Hibiscus calyphyllus. This has produced three blooms so far, but something has been eating the buds at night just before they open. I had to bring it in to be able to actually see a bloom.


Hibiscus coccineus.

Jay, you are a true Hibiscus lover

This isn't a June bloom but the latest
Betsy, that Creole Lady is gorgeous and peppermint flare is to die for !!!

Hardy Hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos 'Tie Dye')

I don't have many hibiscus and just lost a baby one . Don't know WHY just died

Here are mine The maroon one is bigger than a dinner plate Next year they will all be moved out onto our
front hill in front of the Leland's so they will have room . Does anyone grow them from seed ?









I love all the photos everyone has been posting

Shannon, they are beautiful!!!
I've grown a lot from seeds and I have shared plants that had seeds in the soil and friends have ended up getting hibiscus also

Thank you Jolana.. I had more that died . I really want to find one called Texas Star I had it and it was a
beautiful yellow bloom maybe I will look for seeds

Do you happen to have a photo of this plant? I have never heard of a yellow Texas Star Hibiscus and can not find any info on it.
