| I grew these from seed and they are about a foot tall already. Apparently they are grown for the red foliage and can get 5 feet tall. I have also read they can be grown in water and am considering putting a few in my lily pond. Anyone have any experience with these? |

| This looks to be a variety of (or the same) cut-leafed Hibiscus acetosella that's been around for a long time. H. acetosella is a great foliage accent plant (flowers are inconspicuous and may appear too late in the season for northern growers), amenable to pruning to maintain size and shape and easily reproducible from cuttings. Give it full sun (I don't know about water culture) and it's easy to grow. |
