Spice up your rain garden or pond edge with Halberd-leaf Rosemallow! The large flowers evoke the beauty of the tropics and its tall stature makes this plant a striking addition to borders and low spots. Its readily accessible pollen make this a favorite of many native bees, who may even use the sheltered flower center as a place to rest for the night.
These plants were propagated at Stoneleigh from divisions collected in the garden.
