I am hoping to grow some Hibisus for hedging use and would like some advice on how to grow. Can i grow from seed, or do i have to take cuttings. I live in Manchester. What type should i grow, what siz will they grow to.

Thanks
Paul.

Sorry, Guest, but Hibiscus is not a suitable subject for hedging, I'm afraid. Many are half hardy, and even the hardiest requires a sunny, sheltered spot, wants to develop into a tree, and will not appreciate being cut regularly.

Sadly, regular shearing takes off all the flower buds, and the hardy species (mainly H. syriacus) look extraordinarily dead in the winter.
