Garden: Purple Zebra Mallow

Purple Zebra Mallow

Purple Zebra Mallow

This is the first year I have planted these, but I was so pleasantly surprised! In fact until this year, I had never even heard of them. It's called a purple zebra mallow.

SPLENDID

I got a plant just like that but my flowers were 2 different shades of purple on 1 bud (light lavender w/ darker shade in center). One thing I can say, it's a self seeder and can get away from you if you don't thin the bed. It does best in full sun and is a hardy perennial plant also. You can get seeds at any farm supply store, but not readily available everywhere. I am in central IL.

I purchased it as a small seedling and have collected the seeds from this plant to hopefully start another few around my garden. I guess we'll see what next year brings!

Simply beautiful! Did these start from seed or did you purchase plants?
