Val,
The fall catalogue I got from Park's has "Turn of the Century" - shaded
pink and dark pink in a pinwheel-like pattern-- in a 3 1/2 in. pot for
$10. The fall Wayside catalogue has "Southern Belle" in mixed colors
only-- red, pink and white, no color choice-- in a 3" pot for $4.50.
They also carry the hibiscus syriacus but that is a much larger plant
than the h. moscheutos. You can probably do better elsewhere for price
and size, but these are at least readily available.
