These keep coming back every year. Sometimes a few -sometimes a lot. This year they are shorter than usual but the blossoms are still pretty.
Ohhh!! That is pretty!! I love the contrast in colors!!I've tried to grow mallows without success sadly!!
Is that [info]malva zebrina[/info], it is lovely. I had 3 last year and none came back, but with the hurricanes it was a very unusual year. We could have gotten salt water brought in from the storms, bc we lost a good bit of stuff. Thanks for the pic.
I don't know if it is malva zebrina - the original was given to my years ago by an elderly friend from the church we attended at the time. Since we go to a different church now, I don't see her often but think of her when this plant blooms.
I have those by the dozens in my yard each year and love them. They reseed like crazy. This past spring I had to thin them out and ended up giving away almost 60 seedlings and still had a couple of dozen in my bed. I also have them all over the yard where I laid the dead plants down two years ago as i was cleaning up the beds. Birds love the seeds too.
WOW that mallow is just gorgeous. Great picie!!!! Mine don't seem to have come up this year for some reason but they were never as lovely as yours anyway - they were just plain pink.
