expand your seed search to include "Hibiscus coccineus Walter" ...also ..."Rose mallow, Star Hibiscus, Scarlet Rosemallow, Crimson Rosemallow, Wild Red Mallow & Texas Star Hibiscus"

the species name "coccineus" "in part" means "scarlet" that should narrow your search for any reds you might want ...and the "Walter" distinguishes the "star" growth form

Pictured is a Louisiana native ... this plant re-seeded itself year after year .....until one day, the entire plant went missing ....the plant resembles marijuana so much - that somebody stole it - roots & all - thinking it was a pot plant ...am sure they ended-up disappointed
