Hibiscus moscheutos, known as Hardy Hibiscus or Rose Mallow, is a perennial showstopper with enormous, tropical-looking flowers that can span 6 to 12 inches across. Despite its exotic appearance, it's tough enough to survive cold winters and return year after year. Blooming from mid to late summer, it forms a bushy clump 3 to 5 feet tall and wide, with bold foliage and nonstop color. Ideal for sunny borders, pollinator gardens, or around water features, it attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
