Hibiscus laevis

Description

Hibiscus laevis, or Rose Mallow, is a native of marshes and low-lying areas, producing large, showy pink flowers up to six inches in diameter. Rose Mallow makes a great addition to pond margins or areas with water features, as it prefers rich, moist soil. The plant’s showy blossoms bear a striking resemblance to its tropical cousins. Rose Mallow is a relative of the Hollyhock and attracts butterflies with showy blossoms.
