rock hibiscus (Hibiscus denudatus) is a hardy, drought-tolerant shrub native to rocky or dry areas. It produces large, showy flowers in shades of white, yellow, or red and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. Often used in landscapes or xeriscaping, it’s a low-maintenance plant that attracts pollinators and adds vibrant color to gardens, especially in dry, arid climates.
