Malvaviscus penduliflorus is a perennial evergreen shrub in the mallow family that is native to tropical regions of Mexico. Its common name comes from its pendulous flowers that resemble unopened, or "sleeping," hibiscus flowers. The leaves of this variety are splashed with yellow to white variegation for some extra contrast against the red flowers.
