Also called Tree Mallow, this perennial has striking, saucer-shaped, rich purple flowers with exquisite plum veins from mid-summer to late fall. Reaching a height of 24 to 48 inches with a spread of 24 to 36 inches, the robust, hollyhock-like foliage adds texture and drama to any landscape. Thrives in full sun to part shade and well-drained, fertile soil. Photo courtesy of Walter’s Gardens.
