I have Hibiscus moschuetos (sp) in stock and they began to bloom
yesterday. We looked up the reference for them and they are very
hardy! If I recall correctly, they go to zone 5. Yep, nice plate sized
blloms.
The plants are herbaceous but will grow to about 6-8 feet in height here
in the chilly Pac Northwest.
