I planted some Blue River II seeds in March and I have buds on them already.

Omg, you have a super green thumb,
I had to order kopper king seeds
I lost mine last year while sick and that was my favorite red eye. Just because it had survived so much
I might lose my Chablis , the appliance repair man, because he was allergic sprayed wasp spray on a nest above the Chablis and in full sun
I didn't connect it till the next day
I flushed it, removed from soil, flushed again, cut it back and replanted but it looks horrible
I try not to ever spray. If they are in an area where there is a lot of traffic I remove the beginnings of a nest
I wouldn't dare spray someone's property without asking
I forgot to say, if you see carafe Chablis anywhere, I would appreciate a heads up
I haven't been able to find another yet 😊

Summer storm bloom never opened completely, the heat?




Blue River ll closer to opening

Mine bloomed today also. I'm really shocked since I only planted the seeds in March.

Love this Blue River II. I had Blue River and lost it. I've read that this one is hardier than the first one. Any thoughts?

Hmmm, I've never had a Blue River but this one has been very hardy and has been through a lot over the years

Jay, that is pretty quick blooming

I have 4 different hibiscus blooming but the mosquitoes are so bad I can't get any pictures! Gotta love hot, humid days in the Midwest! Plus, I can't see any of them from my windows!

I agree! Normally it take at least a year sometime two, but four months is just crazy.

@Horntoad, I hope some of mine do that! I've never had any do that
