Q.I Live In The North (Zone 4) Been Growing Hardy Hibiscus And Recently Came Across The Site, Toadstool seeds.

Zone Rapid City, SD (Growing zone 4) | Anonymous added on December 30, 2024 | Answered

There are nine pages of hardy hibiscus and most of the featured flowers are stated to be for growing zones 4-9. They look like tropical plants to me and I would like to know what the experts think. Is anyone familiar with this site?

We don't make vendor or product recommendations but I would be skeptical here. I have never seen tropical or hardy hibiscus in these color combinations. When I search for multicolor hibiscus online, no reputable company comes up, only individuals selling "rare" flowers on Amazon, eBay or Etsy.

Plus, they have the caution to read the description carefully before ordering. If you want to try it, I suggest only ordering one or two and see if you get what you ordered. The thing is you won't know for several months.

Even though these say they are perennial, I don't believe they are hardy hibiscus. Tropical hibiscus are "perennial" in zone 10.
