Giant swamp rosemallow is a large, herbaceous perennial, sometimes reaching 10 ft. or more in height and often developing a semi-woody stem near the base.
The palmately three-lobed leaves are grayish-green and velvety, fuzzy on the top and bottom, and are large.
'Hibiscus grandiflorus' has very large flowers with five six-inch petals that are pale pinkish-violet with crimson bases. The flowers open in the late afternoon and are finished by noon the following day. A succession of blooms (up to a dozen or more per plant each day) occurs from mid-summer through autumn. A well situated Swamp rosemallow plant grows larger each year by adding additional stalks from its root crown.
