'''''Hibiscus''''', or '''rosemallow''', is a large genus of about 200-220 species of [[flowering plant]]s native to warm, temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. The genus includes both annual and perennial [[herbaceous]] plants, and woody [[shrub]]s and small [[tree]]s. Seven species are commonly grown, one is annual, another is a perennial that is like a shrub, two are shrubs that are decidious and three shrubs that are evergreen. These seven are cultivated primarily for their showy flowers, though one is grown mostly as food and another for its colored foliage.
