3 unfamiliar varieties

Brockton, MA(Zone 6a)

A generous DGer gave me seed for 3 different kinds of Hardy Hibiscus.
No information except a name on each pack, that I can't find in PlantFiles.
I'm lousy at plant search (searches of any kind, actually).
What I'm most curious about is their height.
Star of Texas
Red Shield
Burgundy
All 3 are coming up and will go in my nursery for this season.
Any info will help.
Thanks

What a gal, thanks Janett.
What I was hoping for was a tall hardy one. Looks like Texas Star is it.
Red Shield is not hardy here, interesting foliage, though. I can already see the crimson foliage on the seedlings.
The 'Burgundy' one is still a mystery.

I have the Texas Star, and last year was the first year for it, and I wasn't very impressed with it. Small flowers. Maybe it will be better this year. I really like the dinner plate size Hibiscus.

But the burgundy may be this one not for sure. The color shows a red, but it really is deep burgundy.

I also had the Red Shield last year started it from seed and never got a bloom one. But it did have the most beautiful foliage ever. They are the ones with the red leaves, you can't miss them.
