| Botanical Name | Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii 'Pink' |
| Description | A charming pink variation of the ultra-tough Texas native. Pink Turks Cap is legendary in the Houston area for its ability to thrive in almost any condition, from deep shade to full sun. It is highly adaptable to various soil types, including the region's native clays, provided there is at least moderate drainage. Its drought tolerance and resistance to the Gulf Coast's high humidity make it a staple for low-maintenance pollinator gardens. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Full Shade (Most versatile) |
| Height x Width | 3-5' H x 3-5' W |
| Water | Low to Medium; once established, it is very drought tolerant. |
| Zones | 7 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Rarely needed; a light application of compost or balanced fertilizer in spring is sufficient. |
| Pruning | Cut back to near the ground in late winter to encourage fresh, vigorous growth in the spring. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
