Mr. Charles Black, how this cultivar roots for you?
And I have some questions about taking cuttings. Normally here in our place we use hard wood cuttings to root our Hibiscus plants. We just take some hard wood cuttings and plant it in the ground and we water it daily. It will be ready to bloom in six months... So I am asking that in your green house how you propagate Hibiscus from cutting? |

Hi Vasanth, Green tones are are rarity among flower colors, for hibiscus and all flowers. Most people think this is because the job of flowers is to attract pollinators and green is the color of leaves, not flowers, which could be confusing to pollinating insects and bats. However, for hybrid hibiscus with the huge palette of possible colors, green does occur every so often. This is due to genes passed down by grandparent Key Lime Pie to parent Creme de Cacao and then to Jolly Green Giant. There have been lots of flowers hybridized that have a hint of green but are more a muddy brown than green. The trick is to watch for those that have more green tint to them and then propagate that new hybrid as a "green". Jolly Green Giant is our newest variety with green tone flowers, and is an improvement over Greenie Meanie which was our best one for several years. Green Meanie is still good, and we continue to sell both but the huge size and very strongly lobed leaves (Fascinating Foliage we call it) give Jolly Green Giant a lot of interest. Both greenish varieties are sold out at this moment but they will be added back to the store in future store updates. Below is a different photo than what the info page shows. Notice my hand behind the bloom, placed there as a reference to see what a large bloom Jolly Green Giant is.You can also see the lobed leaves in this photo. Charlie Mr. Charles Black, I have doubt about the parents of Jolly Green Giant. The description page says, the parents are Pinot Noir and Carmel Dawn. But here you said Creme De Cacao is one of the parents...  |

This Cultivar is one of my favorites in Charles Black creation because it looks very flat and large in photos and the parent is the one which makes me think more about it. It is Pinot Noir. Being a darker purple in colour it because recessive in this place, so if it is crossed again with same parent we may get interesting results. .
My cross suggestion Jolly Green Giant x Flying Saucer Flying Saucer x Jolly Green Giant Because these two have Pinot Noir as a parent so may we will get a nice blue cultivar from this cross... |

Welcome to the forum, Vishnath. I curious to know about your growing conditions. Does Tamil Nadu have a tropical climate (no freezes)? Almost everyone in the USA has to deal with winter weather that includes some nights of freezing temperatures, this being a challenge to our hibiscus. Only southern California close to the ocean and perhaps far south Florida do not have these regular freezing nights. So many people who grow hibiscus have to grow them in pots so they can move them inside a greenhouse, house, or other protection during the coldest winter nights. Charlie Mr. Charlie, here in Tamil Nadu we don't get any freezes in a whole year. The temperature in night during winters remains from 17°C to 25°C. So, we don't have any problems in growing Hibiscus outdoors.... And yes Tamil Nadu has Tropical Climate. The summer months range from 30°C to 39°C. And we get two rainy seasons, South West Monsoon (June to September) and North East Monsoon (October to December) ... From January to March 1 we have cooler weather and from March the summer months starts and ends in June 1. |
