This tropical-looking flower is a joy to grow from Rose Mallow seeds! This shrub-like annual grows quickly and blooms heavily with large, deep rose and white coloured blooms. Rose Mallow is related to Hibiscus and Hollyhocks, and it is a prolific bloomer - like a Hollyhock on steroids! It is also known as Annual Mallow. Lavatera Trimestris Rose Mallow is highly prized for its exceptional blooms. The plant does well in soils that do not drain well and in marshy areas or near ponds.
