    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Snow-covered in mid-summer with large brilliantly-white flowers, this 6-8' head-turning almost-native perennial is a knock-out in any border or swampy native area. Sun/Med-Wet

    By: Forestfarm

    A WHITE form of the scarlet hibiscus is the largest & most beautiful of America's native plants. Like the red species, 6"-8" across. Blooms all summer & fall. Lives in wet spots in nature but will take average moisture after being watered well the first year. Absolutely spectacular. Size varies w/ moisture. Can live in a pond in summer.
