I have a hardy hibiscus that is very similar to Fireball--same dinnerplate sized red bloom and it's very hardy in zone 7.

The difference is that the bloom has a dark red or purple eye and the maple-like foliage has red veins.

I bought both of these thinking they were both Fireball, but clearly this one isn't. Here's a pic of the bloom.
