The common rose mallow is a beautiful perennial plant that produces bright pink or white flowers during the summer months. This plant is also known by other names, such as swamp mallow, marshmallow hibiscus, or rose mallow. These names are often used interchangeably to refer to the same species of plant. Regardless of the name used, the common rose mallow can be found growing in wetlands, along rivers or streams, and in other moist areas throughout much of North America. Its striking blooms and ability to tolerate wet conditions make it a popular choice for gardeners and landscapers alike.
