I have some seeds which I found in a torn off envelope dated 1959, which I found amongst some items I bought at an auction in Newcastle many years ago. It has Yellow flower African hibiscus written on it and there are 14 seeds.
I wondered whether they are a rare variety and if they could be propagated. How would I go about it?
It is possible they are from the 1960's.
My guess, Carole, is that you may be lucky enough be able to germinate some of these seeds providing that you do so under controlled conditions.
I guess these seeds would need lots of warmth, moisture and patience to germinate.
It sounds like it may probably be an Hibiscus calyphyllus. if you are successful then they go well in pots and planters and will flower from January through to April
