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! what a hibiscus.i like this disco belle series.hudge bloom on a nice compact & clean plant.its amazing.plz do post the other colors when they come to bloom

WoW............. Its superb........... what a big thingy... MashaAllah.

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.

Seed grown Hibiscuses:

The Yellow one is a nectar factory. Ants, bees, wasps love them. You can see how luminescent it becomes when hit by direct sun:

My hand for size reference:

Izhar, I am Jealous. More Green had seeds of Disco Bell in winter session. Tomorrow I will cheeked with them if they have seeds I will definitely grow.

Mir sb. just to clarify that the yellow one is from Karachi University Botanic Garden, I collected seeds from a plant.
