JRsbugs said:The question is, was the seed bought as a hybrid, in which case you could claim a name if you knew what that name was.

If the seed came from a plant already growing, and that plant was a hybrid, then you can't give it a name as hybrids don't grow true from seed unless they have been directly hybridised by the grower.


The seed was given to me by someone who claimed they hybridized 2 hibiscus and the seed given was the result. They said its a Hibiscus moscheutos x Hibiscus coccineus but by the looks that seems impossible.
