Rock Rose (Pavonia lasiopetala) is a resilient, small shrub that thrives in dry, rocky soils and adds a vibrant touch to any landscape. With stems reaching up to 4 feet tall, it produces showy, rose-colored flowers from spring to fall, attracting hummingbirds, butterflies, and moths. Its velvety, scalloped leaves complement the colorful blooms, making it an excellent choice for drought-tolerant gardens.
