As the close-ups beautifully reveal, the soft, velvety pink petals are lightly ruffled with fine, ribbed veining.

They are absolutely perfect for planting right along a rustic wooden fence, or serving as a majestic backdrop for lower-growing perennials in your flower beds. Unlike tropical hibiscus that need to be brought indoors for winter, this Rose Mallow is a tough, fully deciduous perennial native to North America. It consistently dies back to the ground in winter but springs back to life, taller and more robust with each passing year.
