Pavonia (Texas Rose Mallow) Pavoni10

I am wondering if any other members have worked with or are working with this species. I have researched it and identified it as a Pavonia lesiopetala, native to Texas especially.  It is a flowering species related to Hibiscus and the flowers are a beautiful light pink in color and measure about an inch across or so.  Any cultural advice would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.  I have worked with this tree for a while and so far it has not bloomed, but remains very healthy.

Nice work, Tom. I've never heard of the species. Hopefully you'll find someone out there who's worked with it also.

Still looking very healthy, but no flowering as of yet (I have been working with the tree for about two years now).  Anybody else working with this species?

I have NOT worked with it, so basically I'm just speculating. You seem to be keeping it pruned. You might try letting it grow one season without pruning. That might do the trick. Other than that, I have no clue. My guess they make flowers on growth that occurred that year, like Hibiscus do. Which would mean like bougainvillea and crepe myrtle, you need to let it grow out and get shaggy.

But again, I have no experience, This is just a guess from what I've seen with Hibiscus and Bougainvillea. .

Thank you Leo....actually, since I posted the last photo. I have noticed a flower bud or two that have since formed on new growth....I will therefore continue to let it grow unrestricted and see what happens. I appreciate your advice.

Best....Tom
