Hibiscus seeds

[Ash&Tort]

Hey everyone,
I want to start growing some hibiscus for my little one. I was wondering if any type is safe or if there were only certain kinds? I'd prefer to order from amazon since I have a credit right now and get free shipping.

Can anyone recommend something for me to purchase?

they all look gorgeous on amazon. I don't believe there is a bad one. @YvonneG

According to the nursery that I frequent, the double petal hibiscus is a little more difficult to grow (especially if you have a brown thumb like me). I have several of single petal hibiscus and they bloom almost non-stop in Southern CA. I have one double petal hibiscus and it seems to only bloom one or two flowers at a time - could be just me though.

What is your location? They grow like weeds here and I can tell you that the red, unfancy color are the ones that tortoises will most like. I have seven big bushes and four small ones.

That's awesome thanks for that tip GT

OP. Torts like the bright colored ones. Mine grow like weeds here in Houston too. I planted 6 last year and I thought I lost all of them over the winter as the completely dried up and broke off at ground level. I was pleased to see all but one sprouting back up this spring. I'm going to add the coffee grounds to them now.
