Another versatile, native member of the hibiscus family for your garden! Provided that you have good drainage, this small shrub performs well in full sun or in sun for half the day, and is an excellent choice for those difficult west facing shade gardens where the only available sunshine is scorching. It also blooms for most of the year, making it an excellent choice for butterfly and pollinator gardens: in early spring and late summer, when nothing else is there for your pollinators, Texas Rock Rose has your back. It has a sprawling, informal look if left unpruned, and the soft, fuzzy little leaves add welcome texture to the garden!
