Malvaviscus drummondii Big Momma Ornamental Vines Multiplying steadilyThis deer resistant 2005 introduction from Texan Greg Grant produces flowers that are over 1 3 larger than the typical turk's cap. Malvaviscus 'Big Momma' emerges in late spring and quickly rises to 6' tall, topped from midsummer until frost with bright orange red flowers, swirled like a turk's cap attractive to hummingbirds.
