Rose Of Sharon Mutation I'm working on

14 years ago

Just playing around with mutations I found. This makes a small plant with small leaves. The flower looks like an actual partially opened rose. It is semi-double. Flowers are tiny and are a little larger than my fingernail. Might make good bonsai specimens. If someone already did this let me know. (it is hard to find info on syriacus)

I'm not an expert. I am just playing around with hybridizing mutations for fun basically.
