Rose of Sharon, Hibiscus syriacus

Hi all, I was just curious if anyone has tried a Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) for a bonsai? The reason that I ask is that I have tons of little seedlings of this plant all over my yard. They make really nice flowers and I thought they would be nice as a bonsai tree. I saw one picture of one over at another bonsai site, but haven't seen any elsewhere.

Anyone have any experience working with this species and know how they take to being pruned and potted? I am a complete newbie to bonsai. Just thought they might be something cheap and fun to play with? I also have lots of Maple seedlings to work with too, but I will save that for another thread.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
