Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii Native to central Texas and other parts of the temperate south and often found on the edge of woodlands. A spreading shrub that produces multiple elongated stems. The small, bright-red, hibiscus-like flowers can be seen throughout the heat of summer. Heart shaped leaves catch the sun and glow a bright green. Part of the Mallow Family, both the leaves and the flowers are edible! The flowers have a delicate sweetness and the flowers are excellent raw or steamed. Tolerates part shade to shade. Perfect for a woodland garden. Attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Prune to the ground in late winter and see lots of new bushy growth in the Spring.
About us
Arroyo Seco Micro-Farm & Nursery arose from a collective love and knowledge of plants. After starting a successful ecological landscaping company, our obsession with plants only grew, along with our garden….
Each season, we have expanded our growing space. Eventually we added a greenhouse and shade structure for even more plant propagation. As the garden grew, we started noticing more and more native wildlife emerging. We are a regular host for screech owls, Texas horned lizards, green anoles and native bees! We often see monarchs passing through in the Spring on their long journey North. We even hosted a family of Cooper’s Hawks who decided to pause their migration and nest in our garden for a couple of months. Pure central Texas magic!
Many of our family, friends, and clients began inquiring about our unique blend of native/pollinator plants, vegetables, and herbs. Not only do we enjoy food and medicine from our own garden, but we also provide habitat and food for native wildlife! We started installing more native landscapes and pollinator gardens, growing more plants, and gaining more knowledge. Arroyo Seco Micro-Farm & Nursery is the fruit of all this labor!
We are committed to providing a safe, easy, and reliable way for our central Austin neighbors to get a jump start on their own gardens each season. Make sure to check our online shop regularly for a continual rotation of seasonal plants and soil offerings!
