Swamp Mallow and Rose Mallow. The Swamp Mallow has blooms 6" or more
in diameter. The blooms are continuous from now through the first
frost. google them.


The blooms look like mine (most anyway), but I don't see my leaves in
any of them. The latter are triple node (if that is the right term).
That is - each leaf segment has three parts each with their own
'point'.

I love Hibiscus, and its big blooms.

I have tried both tropical and perennial. I like tropical, but it is
such a pain to have to take in during the winter cold, that I have
been trying perennial.

The first perennial I really like, but worse luck, I lost the
identifying tag, so I don't know what it is. The second one I tried
is not as good. I really want to find some more of the first kind.
It grows to a height of some 6 feet and has big (I mean big) pinkish
blooms. Has come back nicely after two winters now,

A local nursery had no idea what it is, and doesn't stock anything
that looks like it (it has leaves I think are called triple node, not
single node like the other).

Anyway, I have googled the subject, but cannot find a site that at
least has full pictures of the many Hibiscus types so I can match up
what I have.

Anyone know of one?

Thanks
