Mystic Malva

This spreading perennial shrub is covered with small, delicate flowers, ranging from blue to pink in color. With leaves similar to Hollyhock Zebrina, it requires no staking and blooms profusely even after frost! With a warm winter, there are still clumps of leaves alive on the plants in early February. By May they were blooming profusely. After cutting back the stalks, they begin to regrow.

It can easily climb to 20 feet in a season and is great for training on trellises and fences. When combined in a small bouquet with Forget-Me-Nots, the primary colors are striking.
