| Hi fellow garden lovers!
I'm normally on the Kitchen Table, but I wanted to ask you a plant ID question. My friend in Georgia has this plant in her garden. She was given the seedling as a "mystery." I thought it might be a hollyhock or a hibiscus? You can see the swirled petals in the red bud. What do you think it is?

| Looks like a Rose of Sharon to me. They grow like weeds but are actually big shrubs. |

| aka Hibiscus syriacus. If you google Rose of Sharon there's an outside chance you might turn up UK sites in which case that name will refer to Hypericum calycinum, a type of St John's Wort. So best to double check that it's Hibiscus info you've found. |
