Heartleaf rosemallow is distinguished by its heart-shaped leaves and a robust, shrubby form. This plant showcases an array of crimson red blooms that radiate against its foliage from summer to fall. The flowers are conspicuous, with a trumpet-like shape and a prominent central staminal column. The shrub thrives in full sun, reaching heights up to 3-4 feet (about 90-120 cm) and spreading similarly in width. Each bloom unfolds in solitude atop the stems, offering a striking, repetitive floral show.
