Description:
Mallow, Hibiscus - Marsh Mallow, Swamp Rose Mallow, Mallow Marvels -
Family: Malvaceae
Mallow is a wild plant of waste places, especially near the sea, but it is also cultivated as a flowering plant in gardens. It prefers well-drained soil in full sun. Older plants have a tendency to develop rust, so need to be sprayed with a fungicide or replaced regularly with young stock.
The flowers resemble a single Hollyhock bloom, only they are much larger, some measuring from 6 inches to 10 inches or 12 inches across. The colors range from white with crimson centers to deep crimson, but most of the colors are soft, causing them to blend with other flowering plants.
