Re: vegatative propigation of Hibiscus Syracus (rose of Sharon)

David,

Years ago, I made a mistake that was one of my earliest practical
lessons in plant progagation. I used fresh prunings from two cultivars
of Hibiscus syriacus as stakes to tie string on to outline a bed I was
going to dig. I went on vacation before I dug the bed and returned to
find all the "stakes" had rooted. No hormone, no mist system. They
weren't even watered other than mother nature provided. The "stakes"
were about 18" long, the leaves rather roughly removed by running my
hand down the stem against the direction of growth and the base shoved
into the ground, since it was the strongest part. I think maybe you are
trying too hard.
