Sidalcea ‘Brilliant’


Prairie Mallow

 USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.491.600


Prairie Mallows are related to Hollyhocks, and produce spikes of similar satiny flowers, though smaller in size, held on compact, bushy plants. This selection has flowers in glowing rose-pink shade. Stems are upright and nice for cutting. Attractive to both butterflies and hummingbirds. Prune back hard after blooming, and plants may flower a second time in the fall. Should be divided every 2 to 3 years in early spring. Not terribly tolerant of hot humid summers.
