Tropical Double Red Hibiscus was planted from seeds. I thought it wouldn't be hardy to my zone, but I had planted some tropical seeds in the same pot as the hardy hibiscus seeds I planted last spring (2007) and not long after the hardy hibiscus started to return, I noticed that there was a tropical hibiscus coming up in the same pot. I am not sure whether this will also be a double red. I wasn't able to get a single seed from this double red.

Lovely bloom you have. Thanks for sharing with all of us. Maybe you will have more of those pretties. The seed might have dropped in the pot and formed  a new seedling for you.

  Penny, I don't think the seed dropped into the pot...the blooms always fell off before a seed pod could even form. These flowers aren't attached to the main stem like my regular single hibiscus are....there is a small stem and the flower is attached to that. I sure hope so though! I really loved this flower!

That babe is smoking hot red!  What a luck lady you are to have that one.

  I sure hope that's the tropical baby that comes back this year. If it does, I'll be mighty surprised that it was hardy to zone 8.....I didn't think it would be! If I am lucky, I might get seeds from it! I love that one! Red is also my favorite color! If I do get seeds, I will definitely send some on to you!
