Pixie, I suspect your Hibiscus is Tropical (not hardy).
Check the lower stems, are they 'woody' or green like an annual.
If they are woody they are Tropical, unless it's a Rose of Sharon (same family).
If the stem is green all the way down to the ground it's probably a hardy one. They are herbaceous so all of this years growth will be young and green.

Here is the pretty Day Lily I missed yesterday. Again from seed, no name.
