Napaea dioica
Napaea dioica, a North American native perennial, is found in moist prairies, ditches, and wetlands. Related to hibiscus, it features dark green 11-lobed leaves and stalks that rise to 7 feet tall with white malva-like flowers. This tall perennial herbaceous plant grows best in moist, partial-sun sites and blooms in late June for 4-5 weeks. It is dioecious, with separate male and female plants, and produces rounded, many-seeded fruits.
