Hibiscus, a lovely
plant.
As always there are many
different hibiscuses. Before you buy one make sure you get one that fits your
temperature zone. You would think that because they sell the plant in the store
it will grow fine in your yard but that isn't always the case. The Arizona sun
can burn a plant really bad, even kill it, if it's not a "full sun
plant".
In general if the plants information sign says it can be in the sun and it has thin leaves you should check it with other sources. Maybe the plant can take some sun but not direct midday-burning-Arizona sun. Make sure to have some bigger, tougher plants shading the more delicate once. This can be a problem when you starting up your yard from scratch.

There is a hibiscus that
can take the Arizona heat. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, also called Rose of China,
Hawaiian hibiscus or Chinese hibiscus is a hot climate hibiscus. But even that
plant like some shade from the hottest sunlight.
In winter time it is best to cover up the hibiscus if the temperature goes under 32 F/0 C.
