I posted this is the hibiscus forum with no replies, so I'll try here.

I have 18 Confederate Rose I grew from seed from the same parent. They are in their 2nd year. I have noticed that 4 of the 18 plants have strange looking leaves. Upon close inspection, I see no critters.

Can anyone identify what's going on here and if their is a fix? Or is it a mutation?

The Picture .. The pix on the left is a normal plant. The pix upper right is a close up of new leaves. The pix on the bottom right shows a plant with normal shaped leaves and almost round leaves.

Thanks!

Gosh, would love to help, but can't see the picture well enough. Could you take some of just the damaged leaves, so it will blow up larger? And when was your last frost? After the leaves emerged?
