Hardy Hibiscus Luna White possibly Hibiscus moscheutos

Got a rootbound Luna White Hibiscus from the Lowes bargain bin. Online it said it was a Hibiscus moscheutos hybrid. I put it it a slightly larger pot along with a Rose of Sharon volunteer. I left it outside until a few days ago, when I brought it into a glassed in porch.

1.) Will I get any blooms out of it this year?
2.) Should I leave it outside or keep it inside for the summer? Or plant it in the ground?
3.) Is it native to North America?

    Ed,
    its too late in your zone to plant it now and absolutely know it will make it thru the winter. Unless you really mulch it well.
    Your hardy hibiscus will easily make it through the winter next year. Just keep it in your sun room or porch til the spring and then plant it outside.
    It might bloom, but probably not.
    The rose of sharon also, very hardy, You can plant that out next spring too if you want.
    Almost all hardy hibiscus will live in the ground down to zone 4 with mulch.

    I never had any issue in zone 6b with even midwinter planting of hardy hibiscus. Just my two cents...
