I tried pollinating wild pink swamp rose mallow with my Hardy hibiscus Luna swirl pollen, it was late in the day so I'm sure it has more wild pollen genetics but I rubbed on so much fresh Hardy hibiscus pollen I'm sure at least a small percent mixed in. Seeds grew on the wild plant and I took them home.

Here is the wild one as pod parent http://www.ingebrita.net/tag/s...
Here is pollen donator The thread "What kind of Hardy Hibiscus is this?" in Plant ID forum

Will the seeds be fertile? If pod parent has smaller pink flowers with no eye and really tall plant, and pollen plant is white with pink blush and pink eye, large flowers but shorter plant, what would offspring most likely be?
