Hibiscus moscheutos, commonly known as the swamp hibiscus or rose mallow, is a perennial plant native to wetlands in North America. It features large, showy flowers that can be white, pink, or red, often with a darker center. The plant typically grows between 3 to 7 feet tall and thrives in full sun to partial shade, preferring moist, well-drained soil.
This species is an important part of its ecosystem, providing habitat and food for various wildlife, including pollinators like bees and butterflies. Hibiscus moscheutos is also popular in gardens for its striking blooms and can be used in rain gardens or along pond edges to enhance biodiversity.
