In the spring of 2012 I started seeds from a hibiscus that I got seeds from in a local park in 2011.Here is my first bloom.
My perennial Hibiscis.

Re: My perennial Hibiscis.
Awesome, glad to see someone else growing these! We are starting to fill the yard with these so that now the yard is full of blooms.
I am attempting to root some of ours this year from cuttings.

That's a beautiful one! I've not tried growing them from seed. Love them, and have quite a few in the garden, but the Japanese beetles also love them and just shred them to bits. They usually manage to hang on, and this year I had some nice blooms from them because the beetles didn't hang around as long or in as many numbers this year.

Re: My perennial Hibiscis.
I planted these this year - looks to be the same one! I am in love with them. I hope they return (with care) in my zone 5 but if not, I will repurchase each year.

Re: My perennial Hibiscis.
It should return for you. If you are concerned about the winter, one could take a huge pot and turn it upside down to protect the area. Put a rock on top of the pot.
Got to love those perennial ones!
