Rose Mallow Blooms

Southern Belle, Rose Mallow.




I am in love with these flowers. I first noticed them a couple of weeks ago at Wegerzyn Gardens. They have some beautiful displays throughout the park





Rose Mallow.




Come to discover that these are a Hibiscus, who knew? I thought Hibiscus was only found in warm coastal climates, not Ohio. These are a hardy perennial and have the largest blooms of any perennial sometimes measuring up to 12" in diameter. Average bloom at least 5-6" wide.

They come in striking colors ranging from white to light pink, hot pink, deep reds, and variegated.




Sultry Kiss, Rose Mallow.
