Heritage Perennial Profile Here's the complete description for this Heritage Perennial. Drop in any time to see the rest of our collection.  Plant Number: 1.316.060 USDA Zone: 4 - 9  Lavatera cachemiriana Common name :  Kashmir Mallow The hardiest of the perennial Mallows, this forms a large bush of slightly fuzzy ivy shaped leaves. Medium-sized single funnel-shaped flowers are produced from midsummer through fall in a clear pink shade. Terrific for the sunny border or in large tubs. Stems die to the ground in winter, so prune back hard in early spring. Has been known to survive in Zone 2 and 3 gardens with protection although references often list this hardy to only Zone 6 or higher. Plants will sometimes self sow in abundance.

A remarkable, stately plant with a long flowering season, whose wiry branches sway in the wind but seldom need staking. The big, clear pink mallow-blooms, blanched towards the centre, are silky and elegant and are carried in a branching panicle above the downy ivy-shaped leaves.; Graham Stuart Thomas, Perennial Garden Plants Best Selling 4th Edition Now Available!
