The store I purchased this plant from did not know what it is but that it is not a Japanese maple. I paid $1 and got 6. Each leave has 5 points, color is deep red and stem is skinny. They grow fast.

What are they??

Thank yoi so much

I was at first going to say perennial hibiscus but that particular linked one says it is an annual. That would explain the bargain price.

Depending on your climate, you will need to overwinter them indoors if they are annuals.
