Bring dramatic beauty to your garden with Hardy Hibiscus, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant celebrated for its enormous tropical-looking blooms, lush green foliage, and long flowering season. Hibiscus moscheutos, commonly known as Hardy Hibiscus, Rose Mallow, or Swamp Rose Mallow, is a hardy perennial in the mallow family (Malvaceae). It is an excellent addition to pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, rain gardens, perennial borders, and patio containers. With proper care, it blooms from mid-summer through early fall.

Hardy Hibiscus thrives in full sun and fertile, consistently moist, well-draining soil. Mature plants may produce spectacular flowers measuring 8–12 inches across, creating an eye-catching tropical display while remaining winter hardy in many climates. The nectar-rich blooms attract butterflies, hummingbirds, native bees, and other beneficial pollinators, while the bold foliage provides season-long interest.

Please Note: This listing is for Hibiscus moscheutos (Hardy Hibiscus/Rose Mallow). Although some online listings refer to it as "Madagascar Hibiscus," Hibiscus moscheutos is native to North America and is botanically distinct from hibiscus species native to Madagascar.

You will receive one healthy, greenhouse-grown Hardy Hibiscus starter live plant, carefully packaged for safe arrival.
