Can anyone tell me the name of this flower?

I'll describe it as best as I can....right now two of these bushes are about 5 feet tall, the flower resembles a hybiscus flower. One bush has purple flowers with a dark reddish center with a yellow cone-like stem in the middle. The other one has white flowers with a dark purpleish/reddish center with a yellow stem. The dark green leaves fall off during the fall months and starts to rebloom in July. Hummingbirds seem to like them, I just have no idea what they are. Thanks

Can anyone tell me the name of this flower?
sounds like Rose of Sharon, Which is a form of Hibiscus. The picture on your little profile name is of bleeding heart. Bleeding heart does not form a shrub that large, nor bloom in July....(it blooms April top may)

Rose of Sharon gets pretty large and very woody. They multiply rapidly from seeds that fall to the ground and you may have stray ones around that you have to mow , weed whack,or pull out

here is an image search. copy and paste it to your browser.

Reply:Bleeding Hearts, I love them. have about 20 of them in a mass planting in my backyard, they look great.
Reply:If the flowers are very large (4-6" across) it may be a rose mallow which is a variety of hibiscus. If the blossoms are smaller, it may be a rose of sharon. Both bloom around the same time and attract hummingbirds.
Reply:That plant is called a bleeding heart.
Reply:It sounds like Rose Of Sharon.
