HIBISCUS ROSA SINENSIS in THE NETHERLANDS

The presence of the hibiscus in collections goes back up the XVIII° & XIX° centuries because the Dutch producers always had a vocation of collectors and werre sucessful propagators.

Following the Danish producers, it is in the middle of the years "60" when the hibiscus found a first development in specialised cultures.

Cultivars with doubles flowers were the first ones used in the collection ; red, pink, salmon, and some rare cultivars in single flowers.

A strong evolution will apear with the researches from the I.V.T. by example the cultivars Lagos and Miami and some years later the cvs Canberra and Nairobi are introduced in culture, years after years many other cultivars was diffused, very few are available today.
