Everwilde Farms - 1/4 lb Rose Mallow Native Wildflower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

View tropical splendor even in the cold north, with these giant pink beauties! This wildflower hardly seems like a midwest native, because it is so exotically refined. Though many of the plants in the Hibiscus genus grow in tropical or semitropical regions, several hardier species such as this one are native to North America. The genus name Hibiscus comes from the Greek word for "mallow," the name of a common flower. The species name "militaris" refers to the resemblance of the leaves of this plant to a 16th century military weapon called a halberd. In the language of flowers, hibiscus signifies delicate beauty or gentleness.
