About Rose Mallow
Rose mallow (Hibiscus Moscheutos) is a large, fast-growing plant with beautiful flowers and showy leaves.
It’s native to swamps but can be found in many parts of the country as an asset for perennial borders due to its hardiness qualities which make it perfect during winter months when other plants might die off from freezing temperatures!
Common Names:
Common rose mallow,
Swamp Mallow,
Swamp Hibiscus,
Dinner Plate Hibiscus;
Also shares the common name Hardy Hibiscus with Hibiscus Syriacus.
Rose Mallow Care
The rose mallow or swamp mallow is an excellent choice for the margins of highways, as they seem to be unaffected by salt.
These plants prefer good moist soil in full sun but will adapt with care and plenty of room available; these clumps make a big time!
Mulch must also be provided during cold weather without snow cover-a great plant that doesn’t take much maintenance at all.
Ideal Soil Mix
The swamp mallow is a plant that thrives in rich, organically-rich soil.
It’s not uncommon for it to be found growing among other plants or flowers as its natural habitat consists mostly of wetter soils which are perfect conditions this herbaceous perennial desires.
Light Requirement for a Full Bloom Rose Mallow
The beauty of this plant is undeniable; its flowers are unparalleled. The best way to get an optimal growth environment for it? Treat them as an outdoor plant and place them under full sunlight with good air circulation!

Watering Needs of Hibiscus Plants
When growing actively, this plant needs deep watering three times per week during warm weather.
Water immediately if there are signs of wilting so as not to allow them any chance at moisture loss.
Temperature & Humidity
This plant is a great addition to any garden in the South. It’s immune from humidity and heat, which means you won’t have as many worries about your plants getting sunburned or struck by harsh winds. If treated as an indoor plant, place them near a sunny window to get the best coverage.
The USDA hardiness zones for this versatile herb range anywhere between4-9 meaning it can grow easily almost everywhere with proper care.
Fertilizing Rose Mallow
If you want to feed your plants with care and attention, then it’s time for a little fertilizer therapy.
Feed Hibiscus Moscheutos every 2 weeks during the growing season or fertilize in spring when they begin their new life cycle using slow-release pellets that are perfect whether used indoors or out!
Propagating Your Rose Mallow Plants
Propagating Hibiscus from Seeds
Hibiscus is a unique plant that doesn’t always produce seeds. It only happens after summers with high temperatures, but you can buy the hibiscus from specialist stores if your garden isn’t quite ready for them yet.
In order to grow hibiscus plants, you need a few things. First of all the seeds should be stored in an area with cool and dry conditions over winter time (for example on your windowsill).
You can also sow them directly into flower beds or around gardens once frost has passed – but it will take four-five years before any flowers come out!

Propagating from Cuttings
Hibiscus cuttings are a great way to start your own plants at home.
Rose Mallow branches should be taken just after new growth has emerged, so you can remove any flower buds on them if they’re present before taking their cutting from an established plant in springtime.
The cutting is placed in a small multi-cell tray or biodegradable pot with rooting powder and scratched. As the base of this piece warms up, roots should form within three weeks.
Rose Mallow Varieties
Rose of Sharon, Hibiscus syriacus
The flowers of this shrub are small, but they can continue blooming for several weeks. It’s best used as a screening or hedge because its growth habits make it difficult to see when planted among other plants in your landscape design!
Halberd-leaf rose mallow, Hibiscus militaris
This plant, with its sword-like leaves and floating growth near water sources, is native to the Midwest. The mallow can be found growing throughout much of Illinois as well as other states such as southern Indiana or Iowa where it has been reported from some locations too!
Purple poppy mallow, Callirhoe involucrata
The mallow is actually a groundcover or vine that grows low to the ground. The plant sends out new runners from its base in spring, much like an overgrown carrot.
Hollyhock, Alcea rosea
Hollyhocks are a biennial plant that has been grown for centuries throughout Europe and Asia. They were brought to America with the first settlers, where they became known as “mallow.” The bright colors of hollyhock make them perfect border flowers or cut flowers in your garden!
