(Hibiscus moscheutos)
Swamp rose mallow is a hardy, herbaceous perennial, native to eastern North America. It is known for its huge pink blooms through late summer, and tolerance of wet, mucky soils. This is a perfect perennial for rain gardens and native plantings. Self-seeds well in garden conditions.
These are second year plants, which will grow to full size and flower this season. Rose mallow flowers can range from bright white to dark pink in color; our seed stock tends towards dark pink.
Taste Profile: Edible leaves & flowers
Hardiness zone: 4-9
Light: Full sun to part shade
Soil: Moist to wet organic soils, pH 5.5-7. Will tolerate drier garden locations if mulched!
Mature height: 3-7’
Spacing: 2-3’
Pollination: Partially self-fertile (for seed production)
Planting tips: Mulch well and water regularly after planting. Bare root plants require consistent moisture for establishment, and rose mallow especially is a moisture-loving plant.
Growing tips: Plant in a site that receives adequate moisture, like a low-lying marshy area or rain garden. Mulch well.
We are unable to ship this product outside the contiguous US or to California.
All winter orders are for dormant, bare root plants and will be shipped or available for pick up in March-April 2026
