white texas star seeds

I bought some Texas star white hibiscus seeds on ebay.When I went to soak them over night they all floated is this normal for texas star seeds to float?I have grown many hibiscus from seed and never had any float.Sure hope these seeds are good.

    I don't know about the floating part(I planted mine without soaking)but mine came from ebay also and everyone germinated that I planted.Debbie

    Just to caution you so you aren't disappointed; the white Texas Star seeds may not turn out white. Had an instance that the plant looked like the white, but has been blooming red!
