Blue Rose of Sharon (Hardy Hibiscus)
I was given this plant a couple of years ago. I had never seen a blue Rose of Sharon. I have several other colors of them, but nothing like this one.

Is it an Althea bush? Looks like mine. we tried to actually buy another hibiscus and went to the Nursery and found a Hardy Hibiscus. It turned out to be another Althea. they are kin to each other i guess. just smaller than the dinner plate size hibiscus i wanted to find again.

Its a beautiful bush. We had a couple of those growing in our yard in Denver. Wonder if they are still flourishing.
I currently have a purple Hibiscus in a pot in my yard. It may be in the same family.
