Nick or lightly scarify the seeds and soak them in warm water for 24 hours to improve germination. Press seeds into a moist seed-starting mix, barely covering them, and keep at 70-75°F. Germination can be slow and uneven, often taking 3-6 weeks. Once seedlings have several true leaves and danger of frost has passed, transplant outdoors after hardening off. Space plants 24-36 inches apart in a sunny location with moist soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Woolly Rose Mallow is generally low-maintenance once established; cut back dead stems in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25 Woolly Rose Mallow seeds (Hibiscus lasiocarpos).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835972780342,"sku":"FOLIA2-1421","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7850874361_sy3f.jpg?v=1793096704","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/woolly-rose-mallow-seeds-25-hibiscus-lasiocarpos-native-white-hardy-hibiscus-with-red-center","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
