Growing Hardy Hibiscus from Seeds Part 2 Results!

Hardy Hibiscus Rosy Pink with red center seedling
Hardy hibiscus seedling

My Hibiscus moscheutos aka Swamp Mallow hardy hibiscus is starting to get a lot of growth and flower buds since I recently pruned them. The Hardy Hibiscus Mix purchased from the commercial source has the first bloom. What a lovely surprise to walk into the garden to view this subtly shaded pink bloom with a contrasting darker pink center.

I have observed that a handful out of 54 of the commercial seed mix has a different soft matte texture to the leaves. It will be interesting to see if the blooms are different as well. I have noticed more of these are tall and a smaller percentage are shorter more like a shrub.
