Scarlet rose-mallow
Hibiscus laevis
Scarlet rose-mallow is a striking native perennial that produces large, showy red to pink flowers and thrives in moist to wet soils with partial to full sun. Water regularly to keep the soil moist and provide a rich, organic planting site near a pond or rain garden for best results. Cut stems back to the ground each fall and it will reliably return the following spring.
