12 inches for Hardy Hibiscus flowers?
I'm almost tempted to try some.
Thanks for that, just ordered one, or pack of 3 actually. For
price
they should fly. :-)

So have I.

You on commission David? :-)

Are these related to the "Disco Belle" and "Southern Belle" hybrids?

Yes.

Looking at my notes, cultivars said to have 12 inch flowers are 'Kopper
King' (moscheutos x coccineus x militaris) and 'Moy Grande' ('Southern
Belle' x grandiflorus). I would expect these to be less hardy than the
purebred moscheutos.

[But I've only got figures for 4 cultivars, out of in excess of 100, so
I don't really know what a typical size is, though 6 inches seems
reasonable.]
