Malva sylvestris ‘Zebrina’ aka Striped Mallow
A relation to the hollyhock family this short lived perennial happily reseeds itself each year so I never had to worry that if the winters harsh the former plant won’t grow the following season as I know it’s seedlings will. Plenty of them.
I grow this gorgeous plant at the foot of my very large and very much tree like William Baffin Rose. It makes a nice cover for the large roses bare knees and helps shade the roots of the large rose and the clematis growing behind it on the fence.

That is simply breath taking. I wish I could get some of my photos to turn out half that good. I’m sure the Canon A560 doesn’t stand a chance though. Haa
