What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Rose Mallow Seeds grow into a striking native wildflower known for its bold, hibiscus-like blooms and strong pollinator appeal. Also called swamp hibiscus or tree mallow, rose mallow is native to the U.S. Midwest and brings a lush, tropical look to temperate gardens. Its showy flowers measure an impressive 4–5 inches across and bloom in vibrant shades of bright pink.

Despite its exotic appearance, rose mallow is well adapted to North American growing conditions and performs reliably in garden beds, pollinator plantings, and naturalized landscapes. The large flowers are rich in nectar, making them especially attractive to butterflies, bees, beneficial insects, and hummingbirds. Blooms are also well suited for cut flower arrangements.

Bold Native Beauty with Tropical Appeal:

  • Large 4–5 inch hibiscus-like pink flowers
  • Native Midwest wildflower with dramatic presence
  • Eye-catching blooms for garden or indoor arrangements
  • Adds color and structure to pollinator landscapes

Why Customers Love Rose Mallow:

  • Tropical-looking flowers from a hardy native plant
  • Strong attraction for butterflies and hummingbirds
  • Impressive flower size and vivid color
  • Excellent choice for pollinator and native plant gardens

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow rose mallow seeds in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. This native perennial performs especially well in consistently moist locations but adapts to average garden conditions once established. Provide regular watering during early growth for best results.

Plants develop a sturdy growth habit and bloom during the warm season. Allow spent flowers to mature if seed collection or natural reseeding is desired, or deadhead to maintain a tidy appearance.
