| Botanical Name | Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii |
| Description | A versatile Texas native that is a staple for Southeast Texas landscapes. It is highly adaptable to various soil types, including the heavy clay found in many Houston neighborhoods, though it appreciates organic mulch. It is remarkably pest-resistant and handles the stress of high humidity and intense summer heat with ease. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Full Shade; one of the few plants that blooms well in shade. |
| Height x Width | 3-5 ft. x 3-5 ft. |
| Water | Average; drought-tolerant once established but blooms more profusely with regular water. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 (Reliable perennial in Houston) |
| Fertilization | Minimal; light application of balanced fertilizer in early spring. |
| Pruning | Cut back to 6-12 inches in late winter to encourage bushy new growth. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
