False advertisment
I received my seeds and have had easy success in growing. They are not blooming but it is very obvious these are perennials , not the tropical hibiscus that are advertised . Very disappointed. They bloomed this year. They are NOTHING like the picture.

Big and beautiful
I had low expectations based on previous reviews. But I finally got one of my seedlings to live long enough to bloom and it's gorgeous. And most of the seeds I planted previously did sprout, I just didn't do a good job of taking care of the seedlings once I got it going until this one. It bloomed today and I'm so happy, there's 2 more buds ready to bloom too! I thought it would be more of a bush like plant but it's more of a stalk.To get my seeds to sprout I used a metal file to scrape the sides, let it soak in water over night (if it sinks it's probably a good seed, if it floats it's probably a bad seed), and planted. This one I started early indoors in like winter. I suggest starting early, it took awhile to grow big and strong. The seedlings are easy to kill... Also, rotate every once in a while. This one ended up bending out towards the sun from my balcony so it's got a bit of an L-shape at the base. I can't wait to grow more of the seeds next winter to see if there is actually any variety at all to the seeds.

Not rainbow hibiscus but a weed
Not rainbow hibiscus but a weed. Super disappointing. When I planted these waiting for them to sprout they blossomed up as a weed and not a rainbow hibiscus. They since have overtaken by lawn and I’ve had to pay a landscape specialist to remove them three times now. Completely ridiculous

I received the pack of seeds, soaked them overnight ...
I received the pack of seeds, soaked them overnight, and planted a few seeds each in 32 little pots. (pictured) in a few days, my pots were bursting with little seedlings. Once they grew big enough, I repotted them into bigger pots (in about a month). Well here they are today...doing very well, and getting very large. I think every seed must have sprouted!UPDATE - since I live in a climate with winter - I cut back all these little plants last fall and brought them inside to winter over. I brought them back out in the spring this year for them to continue grow...and at this time (a year later from seed, to seedlings, to young plants to cut back, to regrowth...they have formed numerous buds) I added pictures to show the forming buds - I am so excited waiting for these flowers to open!)

Very few germinating seeds
First time online seed buyer. I received 200 seeds. No planting or care instructions. I online searched how to properly plant Hibiscus seeds. I soaked them overnight, saw some of the seeds germinating, planted all 200, half in Miracle-Gro potting soil and the other half in Jiffy natural & organic seed starting mix. Was extremely disappointed when only 10 seedlings emerged. However now about 50 have started to come through the soil.. It has been two weeks and I still am unsure if I would purchase again or not. Will keep updating

not worth it
bought them for my daughter for an ag assignment in school, and they never grew. even after her teacher had them moved into the campus green house. not worth the money or the time it took for them to get here or the time and materials it took for them to never sprout.

Well...they sprouted!
I planted these pretty densely in two separate but identical containers. They both sprouted really nicely, until rabbits got my seedlings on one. They are obviously not flowering yet, but they look like they're thriving and healthy.

2 of the seeds were already sprouting when I planted them in a good potting soil
Bought these thinking if they didn't come up I wasn't out but a couple of bucks, and if I could get even a couple of plants it was worth the money. Did my research before planting, started with 12 seeds, filed the seeds with a nail file and soaked them for 48 hours... 2 of the seeds were already sprouting when I planted them in a good potting soil, Placed the tray with a clear top on a germination mat set at 75 degrees and a week later 9 of the 12 are now about 3 inches tall. 5 of them have even survived a kitten that thought they were for her entertainment, she bit the tops off and pulled them out of the ground. I am very happy with this purchase. Can't wait to see what colors I have.UPDATE: I now have several beautiful healthy HOLLYHOCKS......
