Hibiscus moscheutos - compact varieties

I have a spot where I'd like to add a hardy hibiscus, but would like to keep it three feet or under. I'd like a deep pink if possible.

'Fantasia' is supposedly quite compact. Does anyone grow it? 'Summer Storm' might work size-wise if pinched, but the red foliage doesn't look great with the Eupatorium 'Chocolate' that I want to keep in the same bed.

I've read that the 'Disco Belle' series comes in a rose. Do those really stay about 2.5 feet tall?

I'd probably pinch whatever I buy once early in the season, but don't want to have to repeatedly pinch, since I'm afraid it will delay the bloom too much.

I realize there's a hibiscus forum, and I'll try there if I don't get a good answer here, but thought I'd ask my favorite experts first. :-)

Any suggestions? Thanks.
