Hibiscus dasycalyx (Neches River Rosemallow) is a rare, towering Texas native prized for its large, creamy white blooms with deep red centers. Reaching up to 8 feet tall, this wetland perennial thrives in saturated soils and puts on a dramatic show from early to late summer. Ideal for rain gardens, pond margins, or pollinator habitats, this species also holds special conservation value due to its limited native range along the Neches River. Its bold form and striking blooms make it a statement plant in any moist landscape.
