Yes, I have one older stock plant of it. I need to refresh that plant and get some new ones started. Every time I do I end up selling the new ones and the old one is kind of tired and not growing a lot these days. It needs root pruning and some fresh potting mix to get it going again. Jamaican Blue is another blue eyed variety you might want to check out. Smaller flowers than Frankie Blue Eyes but the bushes are vigorous and bloom a lot.

Yes. Black Jack has been a good source of interesting eyes. Saffron with the white eye has also provided some.

Ruby tuesday and Jewel of the Nile also have very cool eyes as well.  I really love the variation with hibiscus, such an interesting group of plants Smiley
