I've looked and looked, Googled and Googled, until my eyes are bleeding and I can't find the solid pink (no red eye) Hibiscus as pictured by Dodge. I hope someone comes up with the type\name because I think I must have one of these pretties!

Barb, you WILL be swamped with seed requests!!! lol!

Patti,
I'm in zone 5! Wow! I guess that means I CAN grow these! I just can't imagine being able to grow one of these beautiful giant flowers. Are they difficult to grow? Ahh, a little bit nervous now!

Thank you,
Susan

Patti, I am in awe of that picture. I didn't realize the Kopper King cultivar blooms were so much larger than the Disco Belle type. WOWSER!!! I need to go shopping really soon and look for one of those beauties. Thanks for sharing the picture and information.

Love your pink hibiscus Dodge. Pink is definitely my favorite color. I too would love to have one. What is the size of your hibiscus flower?

I recently purchased two hibiscus, one red (looks like deep pink) the other is pink blush. They measure 10 and 11 inches. I may start another thread and post mine.

* * * *

Oh great that's good to know they aren't that difficult to grow. I always thought they were seeing I lost the only one I ever bought in the first year I had it.I just assumed they were temperamental!

Geez, I just can't get over how BIG your flowers are, unbelievable!
Your hibiscus was obviously well worth the $10.95 you paid! A beautiful piece of nature indeed!
I MUST try to grow one next year.

On the south side of the house there is an embankment, about 20 - 25 feet that slopes down toward the house due north and could be just the spot to grow one.The soil there stays slightly moist most of the time there because of the slope and the tops of all the plants get the sunshine.

Patti,

I'm not really sure what I bought Walmart was selling them in their parking lot soon after they opened here years ago, Hibiscus along with a lot of other plants, so I figured if they were selling them, they must be good for this area

Come spring though, the whole 3-4ft plant had disintegrated to the ground.It had huge red flowers, nothing specail about except the size. My first and only hibiscus (other than Rose of Sharon) that even remotely resembled yours!

I think it had a tag on it that read, (Tropical) I don't remember for sure if the leaves where shiny, but thinking back, I kinda don't they were but they were large.

So, if I were to get another one, the tag should read zone 5 for my area of course (if it has a tag) and/or say hardy.I'll have to look around the local nurseries come spring and see what I can find, or, get some seeds to plant, then keep my fingers crossed it survives the winter month!

I've never seen the hardy Hibiscus at any of the Wal-Marts here. All I've ever seen them carry are the Tropical ones. Susan, just because Wal-Mart or any other place carries a certain plant, doesn't necessarily mean it's hardy in that area (zone), only that it will grow in that area during the season because they also carry all the annual plants (e.g. Impatiens, Petunias, etc.). Wal-Mart also sells Mandevillas too, and I sometimes buy a pink one of those even though I know it won't survive the winter here, but I love them so much!
