DESCRIPTION
Hibiscus moscheutos var. palustris is an herbaceous perennial that produces large, soft pink flowers with a deep red center. Blooming from mid-summer to early fall, its wide, open petals and prominent stamens create a bold display that attracts pollinators. Native to wetlands and marshes in eastern North America, this variety thrives in moist environments and has adapted to seasonal flooding.
Palustris Rose Mallow tolerates wetter conditions than many other hibiscus species, making it well-suited for rain gardens and pond edges. The foliage consists of broad, heart-shaped leaves with a slightly serrated edge, providing lush greenery throughout the growing season. Its ability to flourish in challenging conditions while producing showy, late-season blooms makes it a valuable addition to naturalistic and water-wise landscapes.
