Tree Mallow {Lavatera thuringiaca} Broad leaf woody shrub Showy Blooms 20+ seeds Free Shipping! US Seller 

 

Tree Mallows have been the rage for European gardens, and now becoming better 

known here in North America. Plants form a large upright bush of heart-shaped

 leaves, bearing loads of pink hollyhock-like flowers all summer long. This 

is actually a woody shrub, but is usually cut back hard each spring to a 

height of about 6 inches. Plants may need to be staked, especially in windy 

areas. In Zones 5 to 6 plants should be mulched for the winter. Gardeners in 

cold winter regions could consider this as an annual that flowers for the 

whole summer and fall.
