| also know as althea... well known for its prolific seedlings.. is it a volunteer??? surprised it isnt listed as invasive in many areas ken |

| check out confederate rose too, it's also a type of hibiscus -kinda the southern version of rose of sharon, not as hardy and dies back to the ground over winter. |
|
| Yes, this is confederate rose or similar. Rose of sharon produces different leaves and a different flowering habit. |

| Agreed, Hibiscus mutabilis, not syriacus. Not a native but not invasive. In spring, trim everything left (dead stalks/canes) to about a foot, maybe less, depending on what the crown is like. Old cane stumps trimmed in previous years can be knocked loose at this time. |
