Dolchios lablab or Lablab purpurea - Purple Hyacinths are
self-sowing annuals; they prefer full sun but can grown in partial
shade and fairly drought tolerant once established. They sprout
easily and grow quickly reaching 20 feet or more. If you're looking
for a vine to cover a fence look no more. These are fast growing,
easy to maintain and beautiful all summer into fall. 1 pack of 5

Hibiscus abelmoschus sagittifolius - This member of the Malvaceae family was
(among others) named by Elmer Drew Merrill in 1924. It is found in China and
Northern Australia, growing in peat with some to lots of water and some sun. It will
grow up to 30 centimetres high, with two meters long vines, and the tubers will get up
to five centimetres thick. The flowers are white over pale yellow to dark pink. We grow
ours in normal flowerbed conditions and it does well. 1 pack of 10 seeds $1.50

The confederate rose is a large shrub or small multistemmed tree that grows to 15 ft
high with about a 10 ft spread. Neither a confederate (it hails from China but has
taken a liking to the US southland), nor a rose (it's in Malvaceae, the hibiscus family).
Dropping its leaves in winter the shrub's slender stems seem to disappear among
neighboring plants until midsummer, when it leafs out into a big bushy mass. The
large leaves are 5 - 7 in bright green, hairy on the undersides and deeply lobed. They
impart a coarse texture that gives the plant a distinctive eye-catching appeal.
Hibiscus mutabilis is downright conspicuous when in full bloom starting in late
summer and on into fall. The flowers open pure white and change color over a
three-day period until they are deep pink and then as they die assume a dark
"blue-pink" hue. The most notable characteristic of this flowering shrub is that
flowers of three distinct colors appear on the bush simultaneously as the blooms
color cycle independent of one another. 1 pack of 20 seed $1.99
