Mocha Moon Rose Mallow

Hibiscus 'Mocha Moon' has white flowers with a crimson eye that bleeds outward onto the overlapping, slightly ruffled petals. It blooms from mid summer to fall with huge flowers measuring 7-8 “ across. The leaves are very similar to maple leaves in shape. The flowers are produced in the leaf axils from the top to the bottom of the plant instead of just at the top as in some other hibiscus cultivars. The name Hibiscus came from the Greek word "hibiskos" that meant "marshmallow". The sticky root or stem of some plant in the mallow family was at one time used to make marshmallow confections.
