Hibiscus grown from old flower seeds

Is it possible to grow new hibiscus plants from the seeds on the dead bloom?

Thank you

Doug says I hope so - been doing it for years. If it isn't possible, please don't tell my plant, they think it's OK to breed and produce seed. :-)

The only caveat of course is that if this is a hybrid, it won't come true from seed - the babies will not likely look like the parent plant.

See the propagation section for info on starting seed (this one doesn't require cold dormancy)
