Discover the striking beauty of Hibiscus moscheutos, commonly known as Swamp Mallow or Crimsoneyed Rosemallow. This herbaceous perennial from the Malvaceae family is a captivating addition to any garden, boasting impressive, hollyhock-like blooms in shades of white, pink, and burgundy with contrasting deep crimson centers. Native to southern and eastern North America, this plant thrives in USDA Zones 5-9, reaching heights of 3 to 7 feet with a spread of 2 to 4 feet. Its flowering season spans from July to September, drawing butterflies and pollinators with its eye-catching, showy flowers.

Swamp Mallow excels in full sun and thrives in moist to wet soils, making it ideal for rain gardens and water-edge planting. It also tolerates heat, humidity, and wet conditions, while its low maintenance nature makes it perfect for gardeners seeking a hardy perennial. A vigorous grower, it features hairy stems and large, alternate leaves with toothed margins that add textural depth to garden spaces.

Perfect for moist borders, specimen planting, or as a summer screen, Swamp Mallow enhances your landscape with its spectacular blooms. Regular deep watering and occasional fertilization ensure optimal growth and flowering. Cut back stems in fall to promote fresh spring growth, and consider pinching tips for a bushier form. With its stunning blooms and robust growth, Swamp Mallow is a standout choice for enhancing garden beauty and biodiversity.
