Hibiscus mutabilis Dixie rosemallow; cotton rose; confederate rose Species Record #: gw1019791 [See Page for Genus Hibiscus]     [List All Plants in this Genus]		Botanical Information: Genus: Hibiscus Family: Malvaceae Author: L. What do these terms mean?
by katlynnlily       more images... Remarks: My confederate rose opens white in the morning, gradually gets pinker all day until finally turning a dark rose. (Photo taken late in the day - about 4 pm). The leaves are attractive, but wilt on hot days. Also, caterpillars find the leaves irresistable. Despite these small aggravations, it is one of my favorite plants - easy to grow, fun to watch and a real beauty.     by katlynnlily    more remarks...
