Hibiscus moscheutos subsp. incanus

Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Hibiscus incanus, Wendl. Much like H. Moscheutos, and probably sometimes passing for it in the trade: lvs. smaller and narrower, ovate-lanceolate, rarely lobed, serrate-toothed: fls. sulfur-yellow, pink or white with a crimson eye: caps, ovoid and beaked; stellate-tomentose and loosely hairy. Md. and south in swamps.—Seems to be hardy in the N. with a mulch protection. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
