More specifically, it is native to wetlands and marshes throughout the **eastern and central United States and southeastern Canada.**
‘Fireball’ is a cultivar of *Hibiscus moscheutos*, meaning it’s a cultivated variety developed from the native species. So while ‘Fireball’ itself isn’t a wild plant, its genetic roots lie firmly in North American wetlands.
