Swamp Rose Mallow
Hibiscus moscheutos
Description: Swamp Rose Mallow is a striking, moisture-loving perennial known for its large, showy flowers that range from soft pink to deep rose with a dark red center. Blooming from mid-summer to early fall, its broad, ruffled petals and towering presence make it a standout in wetland gardens, rain gardens, and along pond edges. With its tropical-like beauty and hardy nature, Swamp Rose Mallow brings bold color and wildlife support to any landscape.
Wildlife Benefits: The nectar-rich flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, while the plant’s sturdy stems provide shelter for beneficial insects. Its seeds also offer a food source for birds in the fall and winter.
Medicinal Benefits: While primarily grown for its ornamental and ecological value, plants in the hibiscus family have been traditionally used in herbal remedies for soothing inflammation and supporting skin health.
Native Status: Native to North America, including Georgia, Swamp Rose Mallow thrives in wetland habitats but adapts well to garden settings with consistent moisture.
Pollinator Friendliness: With its long-lasting blooms and abundant nectar, Swamp Rose Mallow is a valuable addition to pollinator-friendly gardens, supporting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
Planting Guidelines:
Height: 4–7 feet
Spacing: 24–36 inches
Sun/Shade: Prefers Full Sun but tolerates Partial Shade
How to Grow: Swamp Rose Mallow thrives in moist, rich soil and requires regular watering to maintain its lush growth. It benefits from occasional pruning to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. In colder climates, cut back stems in late fall, and allow new growth to emerge in spring.
