Malvaviscus drummondii Big Momma Pinellia violet-pink flowers (RHS 57C)This deer resistant 2005 introduction from Texan Greg Grant produces flowers that are over 1 3 larger than the typical turk's cap. Malvaviscus 'Big Momma' emerges in late spring and quickly rises to 6' tall, topped from midsummer until frost with bright orange red flowers, swirled like a turk's cap attractive to hummingbirds. Sticking out from the end of the floral swirl are the sex organs and if I do say so, momma is well endowed and proud of it!
