Planting Tips:

• Place the Texas star seeds in a small bowl and cover them hot water.   Allow them to soak for one hour.
• 
  Choose a sunny garden location in which to plant the Texas star hibiscus seed. A planting area that provides all-day sun and shelter from high winds is ideal.
  
  
• Amend the soil by mixing in a 3-inch layer of good  compost to a depth of 6 inches. Rake the seed bed so that it is level.
  
  
• Place the seeds on the surface of the soil and cover them with a 1/2-inch layer of sand.
   
• Water the seed bed until the layer of sand is moist, and keep it moist until the seeds germinate, which should occur within three to four weeks.
