I have planted many of these hibiscus here in Louisiana & people LOVE them. In fact, here we call them the "DINNER PLATE" hibiscus because the flowers are literally bigger than a dinner plate.
I am a landscaper & recomend these wonderful plants for anyone who wants low maintenance & magnicificent flowers. The only downfall I see is they usually do not seed for propagation. Cut back in the winter & mulch heavily & fertilize well in the Spring & stand back & watch.
I am mostly amazed @ the men who like this plant. Men who do not even like flowers go out of their way to see these plants bloom every year.

I hope this does not happens on in the South!

My Lord Baltimores have never reseeded; however, Disco Belle has produced four new seedlings!

I love Hibiscus 'Summer Storm' Its similar to 'Kopper King', but is more compact and has darker foliage. Check it out: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/169977
