Luna Red Rose Mallow is a especially compact
cultivar of Hibiscus moscheutos. It forms a medium-sized bushy
mound of dark green leaves. Huge saucer-shaped flowers appear in mid
summer and continue until winter. This selection has blooms of rich
solid red. Each flower has a prominent and showy creamy white to pale
yellow central staminal column. Plants prefer evenly moist soil and
sunny conditions. Stems die back completely to the ground in winter,
but new growth is slow to appear in spring. Old stems can be pruned to
the ground in mid spring.
