Malva moschata – Appleblossom

Malva moschata – Appleblossom is one of the truly grand old-fashioned flowers of the English Cottage Garden, that so many people try to recreate. These single, satiny hibiscus-like flowers are a lovely shade of a soft silvery-pink, that are straited, and textured like a crepe. This plant is a close cousin to the Hollyhock however, it is much shorter. They form a bushy mound of deep green leaves that are deeply cut and have a pleasant musky fragrance. They have a blooming season ranging from mid-Summer to early Fall, grow best in full sun in either normal, sandy, or clay, well-draining soils, and grow between 18 – 27 inches tall. These flowers will attract pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. They make great cut flowers, do well in containers and borders, and also can be used for massed planting. A great feature of these plants is that they are easy to care for, making them the perfect plant for the beginning, busy gardener! You don’t want to miss out on this plant find, it will surely add a nice touch to any garden!

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike!  There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
