    If you just want Hibiscus syriacus, (hardy), seed I could send you lots before next spring, H rosa sinensis is a different matter.:smile:

        I haven't got any at the moment, as my plants are still flowering, seed doesn't ripen until the winter.
        I have quite a lot of one year old seedlings that I could dig up for you if you prefer as that would give you a years head start on the seeds.:smile:

          Fist bud opened this morning, albeit sadly a single petal, but I am happy having taken a year to nuture this from a plug plant. Now I watch for colour change.

            @PurpleStreaks and all who are interested. I heard from Adrienne on the link I gave above in Spain and she does send to the UK for the same postage. She packages very well.
