I've been wanting to put some Texas Stars in the garden for a while but the trouble is here in Europe grown plants are extremely hard to get: the only nursery I found which listed Texas Stars as "available" had actually stopped propagating them two years earlier. I wonder what they pay their website for. Hilarious!

So I've been thinking about starting Texas Stars from seeds: I take it's not much different from hardy hibiscus, right? Or there's something else I should know, such as low germination rate, need for scarification etc?

One last thing: I see all sorts of seeds advertised already for the 2021 growing season. Given disappointing experiences with several seed companies in the past I'd like to buy good seeds, even if they cost me a few dollars more. I'm chiefly interested in deep red colors (think "Lord Baltimore" and "Fireball" hardy hibiscus) and snow white.

Thanks.
I am just another white boy who thinks he can play the Blues.
