Native to Europe and southwestern Asia, the thick clumping crown supports a handsome big bushy foundation of strong fast-growing vertical stalks clothed in dense deeply-hewn gray-green leaves with three to five palmate segments. Five delicate-looking notched pink petals describe pretty 2 in. wide, saucer-shaped blooms that make a plentiful months-long summer splash, enticing bees, butterflies and floral designers. Though not a long-lived perennial, but a reliable self-seeder, easy-care Hollyhock Mallow can grace sunny mixed borders, cottage gardens and walls or fences, where it appreciates judicious pruning plus heroically beats heat, drought and variable soil types.
