Malva moschata is a short-lived herbaceous perennial with open, five-petalled flowers and finely divided upper leaves.
Flowers and foliage
It can persist through self-seeding even when individual plants are short-lived. Flowering extends through summer in suitable conditions, while hot, dry weather may yellow the foliage.
Pink, white and mixed references
Rosea, White and Dwarf Alba retain separate colour and stature labels for seed assortments.
