PLANT VARIETY AVAILABILITY

Many nurseries in south-east Queensland produce hibiscus plants.  Some are specialists with grafted plants only while others produce a large range of many types from tubes to advanced landscaping stock.  Some export worldwide subject to your own government quarantine regulations

Plants and How I grow them

A: This is a piece of albo-lacinatus, "Ruth Wilcox", before and after trimming to remove all but the top eye. Even this could go for a cutting graft.

B: The scion has been trimmed and inserted as a wedge graft and is ready for wrapping.

C: Two weeks later, there's action as the shooting commences.

D & E: At 4 weeks the tape can be removed and the top shoot of the root-stock is ready for trimming.

F & G: After 8 weeks, the new plant is crying out for potting on or packing for mail-order after being hardened away from the igloo and the hot bed.

H: Alternatively, the root-stock as seen here, is grown to this stage in 3-4 weeks and then grafted.
