I did several picture searches on anything I thought might be related, but cant find a match for both flower AND leaf.

Growing as a small shrub on a riverbank.

Anyone know what this is?

Thanks

    I would guess Halberdleaf Rosemallow (Hibiscus laevis). Here's the profile from Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower center:

    Check out the Pavonia genus as well, Pavonia hastata looks similar.

    Thanks greentiger87!
    It is the Halberdleaf Rosemallow (Hibiscus laevis)
    YES!
    Pavonia hastata is similar and thanks for that too.

    Looks like you have a beauty there. So now you can plant more seeds or share. :)

    Can be propagated from seed, but likely would get variable results.
    I will try to get cuttings next time in that area.
    Would require damp soil area to grow well.
