There are many types of plants that fall into the family Malva – Hibiscus, cotton plants, mallows, okra and even Hollyhocks.

I grow several types of Malva in my garden and indoors – three types of hibiscus, two mallow species and at least four different types of hollyhocks.

All of this plants have simple yet wide open flowers.

I love the Malva sylvestra that I’ve posted above. It’s very easy to grow, seeds itself and spreads easily but not so much that one would call it invasive, and tolerates lightly shaded areas well.

The delicate stripes on the flowers of M. sylvestra are what drew me to this plant in the beginning and it’s ease of care are one of the reasons why I plan to keep it in the garden for years to come.

    Beautiful! I wish we had gorgeous blossoms like that here in the fall/winter. It’s too cold in the fall for fall blossoms in northern New York… My WW is up!
