Who's my Hibiscus?

Northeast, AR(Zone 7a)

I'm sure this is a common one. It's about 4 ft tall with dinnerplate size blooms. The blooms are a dark pink, almost red with a dark red center. It is a hardy hibiscus in zone 7. It isn't southern belle. As you can see, the petals are very separate, not overlapping. Any idea who I've got?

Thank you for your time.

Haven't a clue what it is but it is gorgeous. What a show that one must put on.

No idea, but I would love to have some seed if you have some! It is beautfiul! I have a red on that color, but it has the round petals..they show up so well and bloom like crazy!

Hi Butterfly
Your photo is of Moy Grande. I never did have much luck with seeds and the offspring might not come back true to color. You can get more plants from cuttings. I got some from my garden plant last year and they are doing well with a couple blooming this summer.

Plantsman, thank you so much. I had thought maybe it was Moy Grande but wasn't sure. Thank you for the ID.
