Notes
'Luna Rose' rose mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos 'Luna Rose') is a perennial for borders, rain gardens, pollinator gardens, and specimen use. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deep rose pink blooms open from early to late summer and draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It also tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Swamp milkweed, Culver’s root, and Karl Foerster feather reed grass.
