AboutTom Alonzo Expertise I have been growing plants from seeds for at least 20 years. I have grown literally hundreds of different kinds of vegetables, trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, tropicals, some cacti, water plants, iris, rose, lilies, cannas, etc. I enjoy starting from seed.
Experience I've been growing my own seeds for 20 years with indoor propagation equipment I built myself. I am also an Allexperts volunteer on the perennial forum. I have completed the Master Gardener course through the Kansas State University Extension. I have experience with a wide variety of seeds and I have also read through Norm Deno's books on seed germination.

Question I have read all of your rose of sharon answers and they were very helpful. Do you know where I can purchase red rose of sharon seed? Every place I find sells assorted seed and I just want red. Thank you. Bill
Answer Hi Bill,
I'm sorry this took so long to answer. Thanx for your question. Go to ebay and do a search for red rose of sharon or rose of sharon. There are some Rose of Sharon that are almost red but they're more of a reddish-purple than a red like in the hibiscus. Now, there are true red hibiscus that are hard to zone 4 with huge red flowers. There are some blogspots you might find some red hibiscus seeds. I hope this helps.
Tom
