I had never heard that name before, and only knew it as a Garden Hibiscus. It grows like wildfire here and the seeds seem to germinate almost before they hit the ground. Funny thing is that it's a late starter that has you wondering whether it died over the winter months, and is then suddenly full of leaves and flowers.
