Kenaf Hibiscus cannabinus

I have just received some seeds that i bought from the internet just wondering whether i should first sow the seed in a pot before putting in the ground,says they grow between 6-10ft just wondering whether anyone has these in their garden.

 

Thanks for info Marley very interesting, i thought the pic of them looked nice ,hence thats why i decided to buy i have been sent approx 35of them i think i will only try 8 at first to see what happens

 

Without knowing the plant, I would agree with Marley Farley about the pot. You have far more control over everything. Christopher Lloyd wrote that he used to sow annuals direct into the border, as is often recommended, but later in like he said that he came to the conclusion that everything should be sown in a pot first.

 

Just thought i would let you know i have 2 that have started to grow! will keep you informed.
