Hardy hibiscus with no tag

Belleville, IL(Zone 6b)

I bought this at a nursery yesterday. It was not tagged and the lady did not know anything about its type.
The leaves are different than the shape I am used to on my hardy hibiscus that I usually grow.
It had a lot of buds on it and one opened this morning. It is really stunning.
Any suggestions as to the scientific name?

More pictures showing the leaves. It is sitting in its pot next to a crepe mrytle who's leaves might be in the background.

lady baltimore hibiscus is my guess but it could also be turn of the century hibiscus the pic is hard to tell if the edges on your flower are dark or if its just the lighting

I looked at the pictures of the Turn of the Century and it looks like that is the one. Thanks for helping me narrow it down. The other hibiscus at the nursery were Plum Crazy, which is nice, but I really have a leaning toward the two tone ones
