Hibiscus Moscheutes 'Turn Of The Century'

Turn Of The Century Rosemallow

Hibiscus moscheutos ‘Turn of the Century’ is a striking herbaceous perennial valued for its enormous soft pink flowers and impressive late-summer display. It forms a tall, upright clump of lush green foliage that emerges late in spring. In mid to late summer, huge tropical-looking blooms—often 8–10 inches across—open in clear pink tones with a dramatic crimson-red eye, creating a bold focal point in the garden. The large flowers appear over several weeks and attract many pollinators.
