Rose Mallow is a lovely flower that brings to mind an exotic evening under the moonlight, with its round white petals circling a mysterious purple center. Petals can, of course, also be in red or pink. The leaves of the rose mallow plant are also arranged in attractive spiral patterns. These flowers have been used as a food source by some people and insects as well. Though the flowers are native to Asia, they can also be found throughout the United States.
