Sow the large seed ½ inch deep into well-draining soil and keep at 60% humidity in full sun or under lamps. After 4-5 weeks, transplant into larger pots, taking care not to disrupt the taproot.COLOR & CHARACTERISTICS: Rose mallow boasts huge, vibrantly colored flowers, some growing to the size of dinner plates. Can grow to be 3 to 8 feet tall and 2 to 5 feet wide.GERMINATION & BLOOM: Seedlings emerge in 14-21 days. Soak seeds in room temperature water for about 8 hours to speed germination. Dinner plate hibiscus typically flowers from July-September.PLANTING SUGGESTIONS: Particularly vulnerable to beetles and sawflies, but is easy to control by maintaining good air circulation around the plant and by removing diseased leaves. Can combination with spring bloomers such as creeping phlox or Jacob's Ladder. Dinner Plate Hardy Hibiscus plants rarely need pruning. These perennials are herbaceous, meaning the aboveground foliage dies back to the soil line each winter and sprouts new stems in the spring. Pruning of this plant mainly consists of deadheading spent blooms in August-October. Snip the flowers off after each one has finished blooming to encourage the plant to continue putting on more flower buds. Avoid pruning any stems, as the flowers appear at the terminal end of each stem.
