Notes:
Rose mallow’s 4–6 inch blossoms are some of the largest wildflowers found in all of North American. This bush-like perennial will thrive as long as it has room to grow and gets a good soaking with the hose during dry spells. The tall stalks seldom need staking and can create a pretty privacy screen during summer months. Rose mallow is perfect for rain gardens. Also known as swamp rose mallow.
