Hibiscus/Rose Mallow – Lord Baltimore

Description

Valued for its late summer display, ‘Lord Baltimore’ produces dinner plate sized, crimson-red flowers with ruffled petals. The leaves are deeply lobed and it is a profuse bloomer.

Strong, shrub-like foliage, which is more compact than standard hibiscus, supports these beautiful blooms in mid to late summer. Makes an outstanding accent plant.

These North American native plants bring massive, tropical-looking flowers all the way to zone 4. Although later to emerge than most perennials in spring, these are fast growing plants capable of adding an inch of new growth a day. Excellent at brightening up end of season gardens.

Full sun to part shade | H: 4-5′ W: 2-2.5′ | zone: 4-9
