Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Malvaceae
Plant Description: This large, show-stopping perennial has large tropical pink flowers with deep red veins and throats. The flowers appear in mid-summer and continue until frost. The leaves are deeply lobed and burgundy or purple, turning bright shades of orange in the fall. It thrives best in full sun, but will tolerate some light shade.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
