Swamp Rose Mallow

Hibiscus moscheutos

Introduction

A large, attractive plant suited for sunny, moist, even wet and slightly acidic sites. Multiple stems will come from a single plant on this shrub-like perennial forb. The large leaves are dark gray-green, and hairy on the underside.

The stunning white flowers reach 6″-10″ across with dark pink centers, and long, cream-colored stamens. Blooms are occasionally light pink. Great for a late-summer living fence, a wetland edge, or rain garden.
