Is this the hardy hibiscus that grows so well in the South? If so, I soak
the seeds overnight, starting with warm water. Then I plant the seeds in
'regular' seed starting medium and the seeds germinate quickly in warm
weather. I have had them flower the first year, if I had them in the ground
early enough. But, then, I live in TX, where Spring starts in Feb.
