Looking for a showy, native flower to add to your garden? Look no further than the Halberdleaf Hibiscus, or Hibiscus laevis (syn. Hibiscus militaris). This herbaceous perennial flower, native to central and eastern North America, boasts large, creamy-white or pink flowers that can reach up to 6 inches across. The unbranched, hairless stems frequently grow to be around 6 feet tall, and the leaves with three or five lobes resemble medieval halberds or daggers. Flowering from mid-summer to early fall, this plant prefers full or partial sun and moist conditions, and can often be found along streams, ponds, and lakes. Add some color and interest to your garden with this unique and eye-catching flower.
