Anisodontea capensis 'El Rayo'

Anisodontea capensis 'El Rayo'
A compact flowering evergreen shrub that blooms for several months. This plant is in USDA / Sunset Zone 9. Started blooming in February with no apparent aversion to light frost.
Grows relatively fast to 3' x 3' with arching branches. Flower is darker than shown, was taken in morning sun. Tropical looking flower is about 2" across and leaf size of about 4" x 4". 
Offers the Hibiscus look with a more compact size, long blooming cycle.
In Zone 9, almost always has some bloom on it. Observed one planted with some afternoon shade.
