Halberd-leaf Rosemallow

Hibiscus laevis (syn. Hibiscus militaris), the halberd-leaf rosemallow, is a herbaceous perennial flower native to central and eastern North America. Their showy, creamy-white or pink flowers are large, up to 15 centimetres (6 in) across, and are hard to miss. These flowers require exposure to sunlight to open up properly, and then last only a single day.

The unbranched stems of this plant are round and hairless, frequently growing to 2 metres (6 ft) tall and sometimes taller. The root system includes a taproot.
