I was helping a friend move and she said she was having no luck with this plant. She said it barely stays alive and never really does well. She said it might be a hibiscus.

Seek thinks that is a possibility too.

I saved a few other plants recently, hopefully I can save this one too.

I agree, the leaf shape looks like a Althaea officinalis, also known as Marsh Mallow, of the same family as the Hibiscus
