This is a Roselle plant. I did not know if this would grow in the North or not. Apparently it does. I would say that if you can grow Okra, you can grow Roslle. (aka Sorrel or Jamaica) The latin is Hibiscus sabdariffa.
A friend in Oklahoma had sent seeds and it did very well. You can make a tea or juice from the Calyces that surround the seed pod. The juice is a bright red color and looks and tastes a little like cranberry juice or maybe pomegranate juice. You have to add sugar though if you want it to be sweet.
