Abelmoschus manihot
is beautiful, big flowering plant that reaches 1m (3.3feet) high. It is one of the easiest flowering plants to grow and care. It is a free-flowering and fascinating garden or greenhouse plant that may bloom after short 3 months after sowing. The plant lives 3 years or more, producing seedlings during the way! (The plant may be cut to a 5cm stem at the base for mulch protection during winter even in zones 7-11)
Growing
Abelmoschus manihot
is fun and simple. The enormous flowers measuring 6 inches (20cm) in diameter have a nice smell and a creamy yellow color. Leaves are deeply divided into sections similar to a maple leaf. After a flower, seed capsules will be produced, handle the dry ones with care as they have tiny spines that may hurt your fingers.
Cultivation:
The plant will tolerate any kind of soil mixture, (here in a clay soil the plants have even been flooded by 10cm of water repeatedly in rainy season), but a free draining substrate is advisable. Fertilizing with organic fertilizers or a simple 20-20-20 ensure a huge flowering season. The plant will have at least 1 flower open each day for several weeks. Temperature can range from 45 to 90F.
Germination:
Seeds start to germinate 10days after sowing at 1cm (1/2inch) deep as small plantlets, they need to be spaced 20cm from each other, but a couple of seeds may share a same sowing hole.
