Hibiscus martianus, the heartleaf rosemallow or heart-leaf hibiscus, is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae, native to Texas and Mexico.[2][1] In the wild it is found growing in a variety of harsh habitats, including in canyons, on scree and gravel, and in the chaparral.[3]

A perennial 1 to 3 ft (0.3 to 0.9 m) tall with spectacular red flowers that attract both butterflies and hummingbirds, it blooms year-round if there is no frost.[3] It is highly heat and drought tolerant and is recommended for xeriscaping.[2]
