Masses of soft pink, 2″ wide, bowl-shaped flowers are borne on tall spikes from late spring thru summer. Hollyhock mallow is tolerant of most soil types and holds up under hot, dry conditions. This is a wonderful plant for attracting butterflies, bees and other pollinators to the garden. Grows 2-4 feet tall. Sun to part shade. Photo courtesy of Walter’s Gardens.
