Aloha!

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. It is about an hourʻs drive from downtown Honolulu.

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 third 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!
