Sow flat preferably in spring at some 20°C in any rocky or sandy soil, keep pots always sunny. Transplant seedlings as soon as they are strong enough.
All are USDA Climate Zone 6/7.
20 seeds per package unless stated differently.

As in the related Swamp Mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos) the stalks die back in winter and re-sprout in following spring. For any very humus rich, always slightly moist soil in full sun. During winter stop watering and preferably cover the dormant rootstock with a mulch-layer to give some additional protection from freezing through. VII-IX.
