Kosteletzkya virginica (Virginia Saltmarsh Mallow)

100 (150)cm, Virginia Saltmarsh Mallow is a herbaceous perennial with an erect, widely branching stem with hastate, finely pubescent leaves, and numerous medium sized bright rose flowers from late summer to early autumn. Kosteletzkya virginica is native of marshes and alongside wetlands from southern-east North America to Central America and Cuba. Some authors place Kosteletzkya virginica into Kosteletzkya pentacarpos from the Mediterranean region. Yet due to their extremely disjunct distribution and lack of genetic analysis, we keep this species separately. For any humus rich, well drained, always slightly moist soil or at the edge of a pond or stream in a sunny spot. Our mother plants have been grown from material which originally came from Florida, USA. VI-IX.
