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.
