Malva (Mallow), Malope (Malope Mallow) & Kosteletzkya (Sea Mallow)
|
Mallows and Sea Mallows are either annuals to short lived perennials from cool temperate climates or woody shrubs from subtropical areas. All have ornamental, hand-shaped, maple tree-like leaves on erect stalks and numerous bright colored flowers in pink, violet to bluish-red shades throughout the summer. All species from temperate climates are easily grown in any rich, well drained soil in an open position outside in the garden. Subtropical Malva species as well as the extremely rare Sea Mallow (Kosteletzkya pentacarpos) are not winter hardy and should be grown in pots under frostfree conditions throughout the year at a winter minimum of some 10°C in full sun and with reduced watering. Sow flat in any well drained soil. Keep pots of winter hardy Malva species in a protected spot outside. Sowings from subtropical species have to be placed at some 20°C. Carefully transplant after third pair of real leaves appears. All are USDA Climate Zone 6, unless not stated differently. 20 seeds per package, unless not stated differently. |
