Purchased a few Norfolk Island hibiscus seeds. Trying my luck at some different tree species as a good way to get some rare trees in the garden. I have never seen the plants for sale so seeds are the next best option.  Not sure how they will grow time will tell but they seemed pretty easy to germinate. The flower was what first attracted me to the plant also coming from Norfolk Island helped.

I've got half a dozen in the ground that I grew from seed a few years back. They grow pretty quickly and are tough as nails. I reckon they'll be rockets in your climate Richard.

Summer: 12°C (53°F) average min, to 21°C (70°F) average daily max. Up to 40°C (104°F max) rarely.
