murkov2,
Thanks for the compliment. Use Deno method with hardy hibiscus seeds. I knicked, soaked overnight in hand hot water, then placed the seeds in a moist paper towel and inserted in a ziplock bag. They sprout within a week.

I had trouble with them spouting until I used the Deno method. They do not need stratification.

Below is Hibiscus sprouted in 2 days with Deno. At this point, I pot them in 6-packs.

Edited to add, only buy from Parks if you really have to know the variety. All are beautiful. Just remember, they are a hybrid so will not come true from seed.
