ROSE MALLOW or Tree Mallow (Lavatera Trimestris Mix) - This is a heavy blooming annual that grows fast from seed and blooms from early summer into late fall.

If your winters don't get below 20F your mallow plants may survive the winter and pick up where they left off in spring. Rose Mallow is pretty much carefree after established.
