Lightly cover seeds with a thin layer of soil and keep consistently moist but not waterlogged. Maintain a warm temperature around 70-75°F (21-24°C) for best germination. Once seedlings have developed several true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors in a sunny location with well-drained soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Once established, Blue Hibiscus is relatively drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during dry spells. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e30 Blue Hibiscus seeds (Alyogyne huegelii).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835993194806,"sku":"FOLIA2-1632","price":24.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6928333823_ha0m.jpg?v=1793097038","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/30-blue-hibiscus-seeds-rare-heirloom-alyogyne-huegelii","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
