Malva Zebrina, also known as Tall Mallow, High Mallow, and French Mallow, is a cherished heirloom plant with a rich history, famously grown in President Thomas Jefferson’s garden at Monticello. This perennial gem offers a stunning display of blossoms, featuring deep violet veining on lavender-pink petals. Notably, it serves as a preferred host plant for the Painted Lady butterfly, making it a delightful addition to your garden, providing a habitat for egg-laying and nourishing emerging caterpillars. Standing tall at up to 48 inches, this plant boasts lush green foliage stalks that beautifully complement its blooms. Malva Zebrina self-sows freely and can thrive as a short-lived perennial or biennial, even enduring harsh winters down to zone 3.
