Turk's Cap is a bush loved by butterflies from the Malvaceae family (cotton, hibiscus, hollyhock, okra, and more). Lively red (and sometimes white) blooms dot the plant in the summer and continue into the fall. It has a few common names, such as Drummond's Turk's Cap, Wax Mallow, Red Mallow, Texas Mallow, and Sleeping Hibiscus; however, its most common name is Turk's Cap since it's said to resemble a Turkish turban. Turk's Cap is easy to grow in almost any planting conditions.

We sell baby plants

Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.

How tall are baby plants?

We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.

What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?

The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.
