Hibiscus 'Lady Baltimore' (Rose Mallow), a compact, well-branched herbaceous perennial with big, satiny pink flowers up to 6 in. across, is a dramatic addition to the summer garden. The flowers are embellished with ruffled, overlapping petals and a beautiful crimson throat. Each flower, which lasts for about a day and blooms continuously from midsummer to fall, shines out against the foliage of bright green leaves. Perfect for a sunny border or as a focal point.
