Perennial
Full sun
Malva moschata. A fast-growing perennial reaching 2–3 feet tall and 2 feet wide, it produces shell-pink flowers from mid-summer to early fall. The blooms attract butterflies and hummingbirds, and it self-seeds readily. Its edible leaves and flowers have been used to treat inflammation, insect bites, and respiratory issues.
*Please plant responsibly* Muskmallow may self-seed and naturalize under favourable conditions. Plant where spreading can be easily managed.
Approx. 50 seeds per packet
Sow seeds outdoors in fall or before the last frost in spring, covering seeds lightly with soil. Allow 12-24" between plants. Seeds germinate in 7-21 days. Perennials are slow to grow in their first year. Flowers may not appear until year 2.
