what is this plant?

Post by sporkandbeans »

it came with our house. My parents call it a 'Blazing Star', but I can't seem to find anything that looks like it with that name.

I'm trying to propagate it from seed, but so far it hasn't germinated. If I only knew what it was, I could search for propagation methods....

Being hibiscus in build, cuttings put in water or wet soil should give you new plants. Try it.

thank you, guys

My parents had one of these that enjoyed full sun and regular watering from the air-conditioning condensation line. It towered 7 or 8 feet tall every summer.

It seems propagation from seed works well. I'll have plenty of seeds in a few weeks if you'd like some.
