the red flower
2007-07-26 08:04:32 · update #1
This is a Texas Star hibiscus.
They can take extreme heat and direct sun in the summer. Need lots of water, sort of a bog plant in Texas.
We have several growing in BIG containers. The flowers appear later than most.
After the flower drops off, do not cut the remaining pod. Let these dry on the stem. When they turn black/dark brown, you will find several hard seeds inside the pod. Next spring, soak the seeds in water for a couple of days and then plant them. You will get more T.S.H.
Just before the first frost in autumn, cut the stems to the ground.
If in containers, cut to the soil line and then cover the containers with a tarp or heavy rug to keep the roots from freezing.

Hibiscus moscheutos. It's know commonly as 'Hardy Hibiscus', and there are many cultivars. Here in the Northeast, you can find it in the perennials section at most nurseries (maybe not at Lowe's or Home Depot though).
