Summer Blooms 2011 from Gulzar-e-Hijri, Karachi
The first to bloom is my seed grown Hibiscus Disco Belle, all these plants became dead sticks in winters hard to believe after seeing this big bloom:

Wow
Izhar, is it the right time to sow disco hibiscus seeds? How long they'd take to flower from seed?
What's the size of these flowers?

They are heat lovers, this is actually the right time, 2-3 months from sowing till blooming, 5"-6" diameter. Got my seeds from Thompson & Morgan. Plants become dormant in winters and dry out but sprout from roots in summers.

There seems no difference between this one and Luna Red Hibiscus.

Zaib both plants are Hibiscus moscheutos. Disco belle is older then Luna. Luna is bred by Panamerican seeds, Luna is taller then Disco belle series.
