Hi! I'm trying to figure out what some of these perennials are in my yard. Is this a hibiscus? The flowers have 5 petals and grow off thick stalks. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Yep, it's a perennial Hibiscus but I don't know what variety. It will die back to the ground during winter then come back strong in the spring.

Beautiful color. I bought and lost a perrinal this year. Too hot and couldn't keep it watered. The color was a bit darker than yours.

I picked up a Hibiscus at the mark down rack at Home Depot. It's pretty healthy and still blooming. Hope it does as well next year!

Thanks everyone! I am a gardening newbie so I know some of the plants I can't identify are obvious to others. This is a big help!
