Here's a Blue River II that I started three years ago from seeds taken from the above hibiscus. This was kind of exciting since it's the first hibiscus I ever tried starting from seeds. I actually grew six of them and gave five of them away to friends and neighbors. This is planted in my back perennial bed.

I grow mine with a red one by our garden shed. They sure put on a show, don't they?!

When I got my first Hibiscus, I was disappointed to learn that the blooms only last about a day, but that quickly disappeared when I found out they are almost never without flowers once they start blooming. Tanya, which red variety do you have?

Oh well, if not, I will have something different and exciting and that might be better. Patches - Illinois, Zone "Zone 6"
