Description: My husband and I, love this plant. It's unique and the flowers grow/bloom at the intersections of the plant. The plant starts growing very low, close to the ground and the leaves at the bottom will rot when it rains too much. Getting them off the ground is really tricky.

I started them from seeds in late winter (sun & shelter) and early spring and it blooms from Spring to Fall. It is supposed to be able to grow up to 4feet, full sun with ph of 5.5 to 7.5 and it doesn't need too much fertilizing. It will take to normal/sandy/clay soil. However, it does need staking from young to keep it upright and to keep fungus off. Fertilize mallow lightly in June.
