Malva sylvestris ‘Brave Heart’


Striped Mallow

USDA Zone: 6-9

Plant number: 1.350.080


This cousin to the garden hollyhock has similar satiny flowers, bright mauve in colour, with dramatic royal-purple stripes. Usually acts as a short-lived perennial or biennial, flowering for months on end. Forms a bushy, upright mound, but may need to be staked towards the middle of summer. A terrific specimen plant, excellent in the garden or featured in containers. In colder regions this is well worth growing as an annual, because of the long season of bloom. Allow plants to set seed, and they may self-sow in future years. Flowers are attractive to butterflies.
