Press seeds lightly into the surface of a moist seed-starting mix; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the medium consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 70–75°F. Germination typically occurs in 14–30 days. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves and danger of frost has passed, harden them off and transplant into a sunny, moist location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwamp Rose Mallow prefers rich, consistently wet soil but adapts to average garden soil with regular watering. Water deeply during dry spells. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Cut back stems in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh growth. This hardy perennial returns each year, growing larger and more floriferous with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e30 Swamp Rose Mallow seeds (Hibiscus moscheutos).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739754627382,"sku":"EDNA-226","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8032002820_hd8k.jpg?v=1792115152","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/swamp-rose-mallow-seeds-crimson-eyed-hibiscus-native-wetland-flower-30-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
