Sphaeralcea cultivarSphaeralcea is a genus in the Malvaceae (commonly known as the Mallow Family or the Hibiscus Family), and many of the species are found in the desert areas of the U.S. Southwest, as well as in adjacent Mexico. The plant pictured is a spontaneous seedling that came up at the Ruth Bancroft Garden, and its orange color is not surprising, since this is a common flower color seen in the genus. But its huge flowers are quite notable, much larger than any of the other Sphaeralcea plants we have grown.-Brian -- source link
