Hibiscus mutabilis, commonly known as Confederate Rose, Cotton Rose or Rose of Sharon, is a large rounded, bushy, almost deciduous shrub or small tree. The large, dark green leaves are palmately lobed and the pretty, showy single flowers emerge white and age to pink. It flowers profusely through Autumn and Summer and makes for a good background shrub or feature. After flowering the plant produces round, hairy capsules, which dry before releasing fuzzy seeds. Drought tolerant, but performs best with regular watering.

A hardy plant that can tolerate mild frosts.
