Swamp Rosemallow


Swamp Rosemallow (Malvaceae – Mallow family)

Red eye looking at me,
Hummingbirds flying in to see,
Marsh Hibiscus growing free.

It is used as a demulcent, emollient, nervine and stomachic.

There is no report of edibility for this species. But the wildlife, such as hummingbirds, find it irresitable.
