Rock Rose

A resilient native native Texas shrub that provides year-round foliage and structure to the landscape. Native across the Edwards Plateau, Rock Rose (Pavonia lasiopetala) thrives in local conditions while supporting the surrounding ecosystem. During spring, summer, and fall, the plant produces pink flower clusters. Flowering gives way to ornamental schizocarps that ripen through summer and autumn. An essential species for Texas habitat restoration, providing vital nectar, shelter, and forage for native wildlife. Thriving in caliche, clay, dry, loam, sand, and well drained, Rock Rose demonstrates outstanding hardiness once established. It requires minimal supplemental water and adapts seamlessly to drought conditions. It features moderate deer resistance.
