I believe it's Moscheutos(??). A couple of ways it differs from the regular hibiscus is the size of the blooms and the stalks are not woody. Perennial as well.

Yes Plant, they are nice. What colour do you have?

I had a white and a pink one a few years ago....they did not last the winter here (-:

I believe it's also called Hibiscus Palustris...can withstand to -5°...needs a lot of water (have been researching before buying! lol!)

Wow, I'm really surprised as our typical winter is -10 celcius, getting as low as -20. They are very late coming up in the spring and you have to leave the stalks over the winter, only removing them come spring.
I have found it to be almost weed like in its tenacity. My husband ran one over with the lawn mower a few summers ago and it came back that same year.

That sounds good to me (our winters are similar)...am off now! When I return I will have at least one (probably more, as I won't be able to decide which colour I like best!) :))))
