Hibiscus for Zone 7a

Hi all, Would anyone mind giving me a few names of some hibiscus that will overwinter and be hardy in my zone? I love the tropical look they bring to the yard, they are so gorgeous in summer, but our winter kills most I've planted. I have one, I think it is Texas star(the red one that looks like it has marijuana leaves)that has lived 2yrs, it came back 8ft tall and gorgeous to me anyway. This year I am trying to overwinter a Confederate Rose that I love, and a white chiffon hibiscus that is supposed to be hardy. I would love to have 4 or 5 different types planted, if you all know of any more that are hardy. Thanks a lot.

    You should check out some of the Fleming Brother's Hibiscus. I really like the one called Plum Crazy. Fireball and Kopper King are also good ones.

    Lord and Lady Baltimore do well also. Don't forget the Hibiscus Syriacus, or Rose of Sharon.
