Hibiscus Moscheutes 'Southern Belle Mix'

Hardy Hibiscus, Rose Mallow

Hibiscus moscheutos ‘Southern Belle Mix’ is a bold herbaceous perennial blend valued for its enormous tropical-looking flowers in a range of colors.

In mid to late summer, huge blooms—often 8–10 inches across—appear in shades of white, pink, and rose, many with contrasting crimson-red eyes.
