Hibiscus rosa-sinensis

[thomas041]

How difficult is it to get one of tese plants. I live in Hampshire (Southern England) no one has a single one. Damn frustrating I just need one or two to finis the new enclosure. My little mate is be patient but its me that finding it hard to wait. I know its winter but they are indoor plants, well the ones I am after anyway. Any one know of any one stocking them?

Theres a twix in it for ya

I would also like to know this....been looking for months and cant find any!
Not even 100% sure what im looking for though as the picture on the site isnt very clear.
I have found all the other good plants on the site.

I really have no idea how available the plant is in the UK. The fastest way to solve the problem would be to call some local nurseries. Trying to identify by photo only would be very time consuming and could easily lead to an identification error.

Hibiscus is not an easy plant to grow indoors because they frequently will need more light than your enclosure provides. Schefflera arboricola is a good alternative.

I got mine at a local Thompson's Garden centre, but they are a seasonal plant and only available in the summer months - think I found them in stock around June to August time. Here's a pic of a flower from one of mine. You'll recognise the flowers instantly! Here's their website address - there is list of locations on there. http://www.thompsons-plants.co.uk/
