Red Mexican Turk's Cap

Malvaviscus arboreus var. mexicanus

Red Mexican Turk’s Cap produces vivid red, lantern-shaped flowers that remain partially closed, creating a unique and recognizable display. The blooms appear continuously through the warm season and attract hummingbirds and pollinators to the landscape. Its soft green foliage and arching stems create a relaxed, natural appearance that blends easily into informal plantings. The spreading habit allows it to fill spaces while maintaining a lush look. Reaching about 5 to 8 feet tall and wide at maturity, this perennial develops a broad, flowing presence that works beautifully in borders and naturalized areas.
