Hibiscus seedling - finally got one
 

I have been growing hibiscus from seed to see what comes up. this is the first seedling to flower that doesn't look exactly like a parent plant. the seedling is about 2ish years old.

Very nice! :)
Even with all the varieties, I still think the red is the best!

There are some really beautiful hibiscus. I have seen seed for some real beauties on Ebay and they are pretty expensive sometimes I have a hardy red one on the edge of my pond.

I love hibiscus!!!
I would grow many of different color forms if I lived in a mild climate and had outdoor space.

Is this from a solid red parent?

This one i don't know the parent plants for sure - but my best guess is that the parents are a red double and a single yellow called Butterfly.

I have seen all the different new varieties and they are very lovely but red still wins for me. I have a pink one, too, that was my grandmother's. Your hibiscus is just perfect!
NYCorchidman, these grow very well indoors and you can keep them small by keeping them in a smaller pot and trimming them now and then. I winter mine over in a north window and it does just fine.

I used to have a double red as a houseplant in Ontario. it bloomed during the winter in a South facing bay window, but spider mites can be a real problem.

Nice!

Spidermites are a pain. :(
