Hibiscus coccineus
“Great Red Hibiscus”
“Texas Star” “Scarlet Mallow”

Spectacular, brilliant, scarlet flowers 6” to 8” across, are borne most of Summer & Fall on an upright, large plant. Growing near riverbanks in the Southeastern U.S., this guy likes water and will even grow submerged in a water garden. Grows just fine in regular garden soil, too. The blooms last only one day, but new ones open daily. The elegant, palmate foliage resembles that of a Japanese Maple. One of the largest & most beautiful North American wildflowers, this big plant grows 4’ to 6’ tall and to 4’ wide. You can cut it back in Winter or leave it to enjoy the ornamental seed pods.
