| I bought this hardy hibiscus about three years ago and also its mate, but I can't remember the names. Would anyone have any idea of the names I might be looking for?
Sorry, I forgot to say that the other one is pink.

| I've been searching catalogs and I am pretty sure they were tagged Lord and Lady Baltimore. Thanks you two for your help. I'll keep searching to make sure. |

| Brugie, that's very possible.
Here's Hibiscus moscheutos Lady Baltimore: http://plantsdatabase.com/go/37923/
Lord Baltimore is described as red, but we have no photo: http://plantsdatabase.com/go/40923/ Here's a good shot for comparison: http://www.hort.net/gallery/view/mal/hiblb/ (If that's a match, we'd love to have your photo in the PDB :)

| I went out and looked at Lord Baltimore and it has the Marijuanna type leaves on it, where the Disco Belle has larger wider type leaves, so my guess, Lord B. |

| Thanks MVR, but this is a hardy hibiscus to our zone 5. It is definitely Lord Baltimore.
