Skip to product information
Swamp Rose Mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos) is a spectacular native perennial known for its enormous, tropical-looking flowers that can reach 6–10 inches across. Blooms range from soft pink to deep rose, often with a darker crimson eye, and appear from mid to late summer.
Despite its exotic appearance, this hardy hibiscus is native to eastern North America and thrives in moist soils, wetlands, and along pond edges. Plants grow 4–7 feet tall with sturdy upright stems and lush green foliage, dying back to the ground in winter and returning vigorously each spring.
Swamp Rose Mallow is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators and makes a dramatic focal point in rain gardens and perennial borders.
