There are thousands of hibiscus hybrids; this one looks pretty typical of one of the modern compact types bred for sale in pots. I see a series called "Trade Winds" hibiscus, and they are great as a houseplant. They are not going to be hardy in Ohio, so you would need to take it in.

Thank you, Can I put it in a pot for the winter if I bring it inside? Maybe I'll put it on my planned tortoise table until spring if that is the case.
