The genus Hibiscus is a large group of flowering plants in the mallow family. The name Hibiscus came from the Greek word “hibiskos” that meant “marshmallow.” The sticky root or stem of some plant in the mallow family was used at one time to make marshmallow confections. Some common names for hibiscus plants include hardy hibiscus, rose of Sharon, rose mallow, swamp mallow and tropical hibiscus.
