Flowering Turk's Cap In a Glazed Japanese Ceramic Pot No. 5932

This is a One-Of-A-Kind Turk's Cap

The Turk's Cap (Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii), also known as the Texas Mallow or Sleeping Hibiscus, is a unique and distinctive flowering plant that can be cultivated as a bonsai tree.

The Turk's Cap bonsai tree features attractive, deep green leaves that are typically lobed or heart-shaped. The leaves are relatively large and provide a lush backdrop for the showy flowers. The foliage has a slightly rough texture and is arranged alternately along the branches.

One of the most striking features of the Turk's Cap bonsai tree is its unusual and captivating flowers. The flowers are tubular in shape, with five curled petals that give them the appearance of a "turk's cap" or a sleeping hibiscus flower. The flowers are typically red, but they can also be found in shades of pink, white, or even orange. The flowers bloom from summer through fall, attracting pollinators such as hummingbirds and butterflies.

The trunk of the Turk's Cap bonsai tree can develop interesting texture and character over time. While not as gnarled as some other bonsai species, the trunk can still be styled to enhance the overall aesthetics of the tree. The branches tend to be relatively flexible and can be wired and shaped to achieve the desired form.

Caring for a Turk's Cap bonsai tree involves providing it with well-draining soil, regular watering, and appropriate sunlight. These trees thrive in full sun to partial shade conditions. Pruning is important to maintain the desired shape, encourage flowering, and prevent the tree from becoming overly dense.
