Another group I found was growing in semi-shade (mostly shade) on the very edge of the woods along the road, in a drier area of the woods, where the soil is a mix of sand & clay. Seems like a hardy plant.
Beautiful colored flowers, very fuzzy attractive foliage.
I would agree with an earlier reviewer that it looks a lot like okra. Bu...Read Moret thats ok with me, I grow okra in my flowerbed b/c I think its so pretty.
I haven't planted mine in the ground yet, its been 3 years, but still no "perfect" spot. For two years I had it in its original 1 gallon nursery pot, where it uncomplainingly grew to 4' tall and bloomed like mad. Then I moved into a 16" diameter clay pot with a 'Maple Sugar' Hibiscus and some bronze "Sweet Caroline" potato vine. It liked that better and got 5' tall and very lush. Too bad I can't seperate the plants now! I have some seedlings growing in my watergardens, doing well. If you like hibiscus/ native plants seek this yellow beauty out.

H. aculeatus is found in upland bogs, roadside ditches, and coastal pinelands within the Southeast. Although it likes moist feet, we have had very good luck growing it in raised sandy berms with regular watering. The fuzzy 4' stems are clothed with lobed, okra-like leaves.
From the leaf axils, plenty of 4-5" open, cone-shaped, light yellow flowers highlighted with a dark purple eye are produced from early summer until fall. Virtually everything about this plant is fuzzy...do not approach without a razor in hand.
