A vigorous and easy-to-grow plant, this Tree Mallow produces an abundance of funnel-shaped blooms from early summer right through to mid-autumn, providing months of colour in the garden. Its soft grey-green lobed foliage creates an attractive backdrop to the profusion of flowers, making it a wonderful addition to mixed borders, cottage gardens, and Mediterranean-style planting schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hardy perennial shrub is a reliable performer in UK gardens, thriving in a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil.
