Hibiscus Lady Nursery

process of hibiscus sales, cross pollination, harvesting and planting the resulting seeds, and monit Aloha! It is about an hourʻs drive from downtown Honolulu.

Hibiscus Lady Nursery is on 1 1/2 acres and was founded in 2000. We are located in Waialua (Mokulēʻia) on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. The nursery is divided into sections. A small portion of our nursery is certified by the State of Hawaiʻi which allows plants grown in this area to be shipped to the mainland U.S. A different section is reserved for plants available for our Oʻahu customers. A thir

d area is where we keep our new hybrids as we await their first blooms. With 1 or 2 exceptions for plants of historic value, all of our hibiscus are plants that we have created through cross pollination. The entire process involves cross pollination, harvesting and planting the resulting seeds, database entry and monitoring of the new plants, and eventual selection of the most beautiful. The entire process takes an average of a year before we get a first bloom on the new plant. We keep about 10-15% of what we create and compost the rest. That way we are assured of only having the most exquisite hibiscus for your enjoyment! Because of the time, energy, and cost involved in our hybridizing program, we respectfully request that our plants NOT be reproduced by others for commercial resale without written permission from Jill Coryell, Hibiscus Lady owner and hybridizer. All of our hibiscus are grown from cuttings which we take off of the original hybrid. None of our hibiscus are grafted or air layered. We feel that this "own root" method creates the hardiest and healthiest plant. We welcome visitors! In general we are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. We are also open on many Wednesday afternoons and Sunday afternoons. We are never open on Saturdays because we take a good selection of our plants to either the KCC Farmersʻ Market OR the monthly ONGA shows at Thomas Square. We strongly recommend that you give us a call before driving out to make sure that we are at the nursery that day. Please call (808) 637-9995. We look forward to seeing you soon!

In 1893 the "Committee of Safety" (many of whom were not even from Hawaiʻii) overthrew Hawaiʻiʻs Queen Liliʻuokalani. The overthrowers decreed that the Hawaiian flag could no longer be flown and it was another devastating blow to the people. This small double hibiscus had been introduced to Hawaiʻi from Baptisti Nursery in Australia. Some smart Hawaiians realized that it had red and white stripes like Hawaiʻis flag, and so they named it KA HAE HAWAII which translates to THE HAWAIIAN FLAG. It was planted all over Honolulu as a protest to the overthrow.

One of our (many) favorites here at Hibiscus Lady Nursery is our Oʻahu Sunrise. Only problem is that it has SO MANY petals that the flower often weighs down the branch on which it blooms. One of our very smart employees suggested we grow it in a hanging basket, and VOILA! it is GORGEOUS!!!

Aloha!

I am thrilled to let you know that Hibiscus Lady Nursery is now re-opened! Our hours are 9-4 Monday through Saturday, closed all Sundays. Please give a quick call (not text) before coming over.

MANY thanks to Noble Brantley who tirelessly worked, organized and coordinated the clean up after the floods. MANY thanks also to the 25 volunteers who worked so hard to clean up all of the mud and debris...AND MANY thanks to all of you who checked to make sure the nursery and I were safe.

Because the hibiscus are on elevated benches, none of the plants were damaged, Mahalo ke Akua.

We look forward to your visit.

Aloha, Jill - Hibiscus Lady Nursery - 808 637-9995

I am completely blown away. Aloha is not just some idle concept. It is very much alive and well here in Waialua.
At the moment there are 17 people, only 2 of whom I know, who are out in the property with pushbrooms, shovels, wheelbarrows, power washers, cleaning the mud from the nursery. I believe it will mostly be cleaned up today.
The 2 acres was covered in a foot deep of flood waters for several days. When the water finally receded everything was covered in mud.
Gratitude doesn't begin to describe my feelings. Thanks for letting me share.

Aloha! First of all, MANY thanks to all those who wrote, texted, and called to inquire how Hibiscus Lady Nursery and I were doing with the intense storms we have experienced in the last 2 weeks. My roof has 2 small leaks and one door wonʻt open due to the house settling into the rain-soaked ground. However, the rest of the house is good and the flooding did not get inside.
The property experienced nearly a foot of flooding that lasted for several days, but now most of the water has disappeared and we are left with mud over all of our weedmat. It has started to dry out, yea, although the entrance to the nursery remains a sopping wet mess. Iʻm hoping to hire someone with a backhoe to fix that, and we will deal with the rest of the mud with a combination of pushbrooms and power washers.
The vast majority of our hibiscus are elevated 2-3ʻ above the ground, so they did not encounter the mud and they apparently LOVED the nearly 2 weeks of drenching rain because they are abundantly blooming away!
Because of the clean-up we have ahead of us, the nursery is closed to visitors at least for the rest of this week. We ask that you give us a call next week to find out if we have re-opened:
(808) 637-9995.
We are abundantly grateful that our storm-related damage is minimal relative to the enormous damage so many others have faced. Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing you at the nursery once everything returns to normal.
Aloha,
Jill, Maile, and Noble

Hybridizing is SUCH a cool thing to do. 2 blossoms on my favorite first bloom seedling of today. She is 6 3/4”, thick petals, 21 months to give us her 1st blooms, & stunning in person! Her parents are our Hibiscus Lady Galaxy Pink x Georgia’s Pearl. hibiscuslady.com/shop.

Last week Hibiscus Lady had a visit from Stacey, her daughter, and her adorable granddaughter Kiri. She has given me permission to brighten your day by sharing her Halloween picture of KIRI who trick or treeted as a hibiscus! How ADORABLE is this???

In the midst of a week of rain and wind, I dashed outside today to find this gorgeous blossom of KALEIʻS RAINBOW. Sheʻs named to honor my beloved granddaughter Kalei Alameida. hibiscuslady.com/shop

Hibiscus hybridizing is such a cool thing to do! Hereʻs one of our brand new 7-8" keepers, with parents: E Kuʻu Morning Dew X Lilita. We will take cuttings next week, so the clones will be for sale in about a year. Stay tuned! hibiscuslady.com/shop

ELEANOR is fully grown in the ground at about 2 1/2ʻ tall. In Hawaiʻi hibiscus grow best in the ground. Her blossoms are normally about 8", but some days one keeps on growing and reaches an amazing 12" across. Yesterday, as shown, she had 5 blossoms, and all of them became pod parents, each with a different pollen parent. She is so VERY beautiful. Our in-grounds are planted next to 3" grey 6ʻ long pvc (on the left of the picture) which we pound into the center of the planting hole so that about half is above ground and half is buried. It is a perfect way to stabilize a newly planted cv by using green stretchy tape to tie the plant to the pvc. AND because they will eventually get very deep tap roots, you can pour liquid fertilizer down the pvc to make sure the deep roots get nutrients!
