Scientific Name:
Hibiscus 'Lord Baltimore'

Family:
Lord Baltimore Rose Mallow

Family:
Malvaceae

Description:
Rose Mallows have a sprawling growth habit that results from the tendency of the unbranched basal stems to lean as they put on a rapid growth spurt in early Summer. 'Lord Baltimore' is unique in that its foliage is lobed and incised ("dissected"), rather than heart-shaped.
