What kind of hibiscus is this?

15 years ago

I hope that someone can tell me what hibiscus this is as I'd love to get one and does it produce seeds?

Thank you,

Ian

It looks similar to Alyogyne huegelii, which is closely related to hibiscus. Its bloom reminds me of Hibiscus andersonii. Hopefully someone else will chime in with the ID.
Either way, I doubt it self-seeds. You'd need to get two for them to produce seed.
