I've been asked recently about the plant near the putting green that has "dinner plate" sized flowers and looks like it is made of "paper mache"
Ding Ding Ding - it's a Hibiscus. The common name for this species is Rose Mallow (
Hibiscus moscheutos 'Super Rose) and it has the largest flower of any perennial. It likes acidic soil and full sun exposure. This beauty attracts butterflies, that's a definite bonus to your perennial garden bed.
I purchased it from a nursery in the Fraser Valley two years ago. It's been moved from location to location. It's finally settled into a home that really showcases it's grande beauty.
If you spot any other plants around the golf course that you're curious the name of. Don't hesitate to ask me.
FYI It's 5 am right now and incredibly dark. Winter is coming!
