Lord Baltamore Hib.

To anyone, Is lord Baltimore Hibiscus tropical or hardy? I can't tell by looking. Thanks, Alda

It a hardy hibiscus.

Do you have any info for Lady Baltimore hibs. Alda

Also Hardy.

Both are relatively easy to grow from of seed.

Although easy, Hibiscus do not come true from seed since they are all hybrids.

Cville, Thank you for the information from Clemson. Very nice article.

You're very welcome.

Both Lady and Lord Baltimore are very showy! The location may make a difference but my Lord Baltimore is taller and can flop in high wind if not supported - but mine would have up to fifteen or more huge red blooms at the same time! Kept up a show nearly every day! Thinking it would be tall like Lord Baltimore, I planted my Lady Baltimore towards the back of a perennial bed - well it is not nearly as tall and I plan to move it but it had gorgeous blooms. Guess what I'm saying is choose your planting location carefully - have fun!

Very true.
