Description
An old Cottage-garden favourite, also known as Striped Mallow, this cousin to the Hollyhock has similar satiny flowers in a soft lavender-purple shade, exotically striped with deep maroon veins. It forms an upright, bushy mound that may need to be staked if grown in rich soil. Height wise youre looking between 60-120cm with a spread of 45-60cm. This is a short-lived perennial or biennial, often flowering itself to death in the first year, but coming back the next year from self-sown seedlings. Excellent in containers or the sunny border, in cold regions this is well worth growing, because of the long blooming season. Flowers are attractive to butterflies.
