Perennial rose mallow - hibiscus moscheutos - flowers and okra pods - spinach too?

That was my plant that was being discussed. Still waiting on those pods to ripen!

I’ve been following your work with these hibiscus and I’m very interested to see if you are able to get any crosses.

I recently collected some seed from a local H. moscheutos population I found.

There’s a species native to south asia I would love to try to cross with okra. It’s called Abelmoschus angulosus and is the only Abelmoschus member with any cold hardiness traits. I put in a request with Sheffield’s and they pretty quickly responded that they would be unable to source it.
