Rock Rose 'Brazilian'
- Shipping Available
Pavonia braziliensis
Common Names: Brazilian Rock Rose
Just like our lovely Native pink Rock Rose (Pavonia lasiopetala), this wonderful species is a cousin to the tropical hibiscus, but it's even better at handling drought and cold. To really thrive, Brazilian Rock Roses love full sun, reaching up to 3 feet in height and 4 feet wide. If they find themselves in shade, they might be a bit smaller, but they’ll still bloom beautifully. With their soft, almost white, pink petals, and striking deep magenta centers, these charming flowers will invite countless butterflies and hummingbirds into your garden.
Brazilian rock roses are great companions for rocky soil, making them perfect for gardens along rocky roadsides or for those fabulous xeriscaped gardens filled with decomposed granite or gravelly materials.
In mild climates, Brazilian Rock Rose stays evergreen, while in cooler areas, it will drop its leaves in winter. There's no need to shear it down for winter, but a little light pruning in early spring will help it grow bushier and less leggy. Giving the plants a gentle prune during the growing season will encourage those stunning little flowers to pop up more abundantly.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
