Malva sylvestris Mauritiana, also known as Tree Mallow, is a stunning perennial that elevates any garden with its vibrant display and robust presence. This adaptable herbaceous plant, native to Europe and Asia, features lush foliage reminiscent of the Hollyhock, with lobed, soft-to-the-touch leaves forming an attractive backdrop to its ornate blooms. From late summer to late fall, Tree Mallow showcases a brilliant spectacle of up to 3-inch wide, rich purple, saucer-shaped flowers adorned with striking plum veins. These blooms, appearing in abundance, not only catch the eye but also attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing your garden's ecological vitality.

Thriving in a variety of climates and soil types, Tree Mallow is a resilient choice for Zones 4-8, making it ideal for cottage gardens, roadsides, and wildflower settings. Reaching heights of 2 to 3 feet, its upright stems are cloaked in mid-green leaves and lend themselves beautifully to combinations with lupins, geraniums, and other wildflowers. Despite being occasionally short-lived, this hardy perennial compensates by self-seeding freely, ensuring vibrant displays year after year. Beyond its ornamental allure, Malva sylvestris Mauritiana has historical culinary and medicinal applications, with its young leaves being edible and its soothing mucilaginous properties offering added value. Embrace this testament to nature's versatility in your garden and watch as it becomes a talking point amongst visitors.
