| Botanical Name | Malvaviscus arboreus 'Peach' |
| Description | A color variation of the incredibly tough Texas native, the 'Peach' Turks Cap is a must-have for any Houston landscape.

It is exceptionally heat-tolerant and humidity-resistant, making it a low-maintenance favorite for attracting pollinators from spring through the first frost. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Full Shade |
| Height x Width | 3-5' H x 3-5' W |
| Water | Medium; drought tolerant once established but blooms better with regular water. |
| Zones | 7 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring. |
| Pruning | Can be pruned back to 6 inches in late winter to encourage fresh, bushy growth. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
