clintbrown said:They can't be called Midnight Marvel though unless they are from cuttings. I just meant that this is the only way to get the exact plant. The plants from seeds can vary in foliage, flower color, etc. I saw someone posted some seedlings of Midnight Marvel. They didn't look like Midnight Marvel to me. Cuttings of these will root in less than two weeks.

While it may be true that you have to take a cutting to be an genetic clone. You can still call many Hibiscus by their names when grown from seeds. All the Lunas series, Disco Belle series and others grow true from seed and are often sold as seed.
