Large shrub 5-10 ft Small shrub 2-5 ft Full sun Semi-shade Regular water White/off-white flowers Red/crimson/vinous flowers Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds Subtropical, cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time

Hibiscus drummondii, Pavonia drummondii - Dwarf mallow, Sleepy Hibiscus, Turk's Cap, Firecracker Hibiscus.
Almost ever-blooming, this shrub looks much like a hibiscus (to which it is closely related) which flowers are ready to open. In fact, the flowers never open much, hence the common name of Sleepy Hibiscus. It blooms often, and the flowers attract hummingbirds. The 2 inch long tubular flowers appear to be constructed of crimson crepe paper as they nod against the large oval leaves. Can be kept compact shape and is good for container culture and bonsai.

If grown indoors it will appreciate warm feet during winter (try a heat mat). A decoction of the fragrant leaves, variously described as having the scent and flavor of citrus, vanilla, or pineapple, is used as an herbal tea.
