About this plant
Rose mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos) is a native, shrubby perennial with huge, cup-shaped flowers in pink, white, and red. This plant can be grown by itself, or as a backdrop to other flowering plants. They are low-maintenance and tolerates a wide range of conditions.
This plant ships bare root, as a dormant root crown in mixed colors. Hardy hibiscus requires you to be patient, as it is one of the last perennials to wake up in spring, usually in late May. Moisten the ground before planting the crown 2 to 3 inches deep and watering it in. Remember to mark the ground so that you don’t dig it up by mistake. Space plants 3 to 4 feet apart. Our 5, 10, and 25 plant packs of swamp rose mallow for sale make it easy to fill a rain garden or a pond edge.
One of the most popular garden Rose Mallow varieties is Disco Belle, a plant that is known for its large, stunning blooms that can be up to eight inches in diameter. The series comes in white, pink, and red. Another cultivar, 'Lord Baltimore', has bright red flowers. Every swamp rose mallow for sale here ships as mixed colors, so expect a blend of white, pink, and red, often with a dark red eye. All types of Rose Mallow attract butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden.
Rose Mallow thrives in full sun. This flower requires at least six hours of sunlight per day to bloom. The plants prefer moist to wet soil, since they grow wild beside lakes, ponds, and marshes. Compost or similar organic material may be added to improve the structure, moisture-holding capacity, and nutrient content of the soil. Given that Rose Mallow can grow between three and seven feet tall, the plant must be spaced out properly around the garden to prevent diseases and to encourage foliage and flowers on the plant. With sufficient care, Rose Mallow plants can bloom from mid to late summer until early fall.
It is hardy in USDA zones 4 to 9 and dies back to the ground each winter. After the first hard frost, cut the stems back to 4 to 6 inches and mulch the crown. Pull the mulch back in spring once the ground warms.
