Malva moschata


I guess I have kind of focused on annuals the last few weeks and I would like to give some attention to perrenials-as I can finally see them a bit as I clean out the flower beds from last year. I really like the plant Malva moschata as it is a prolific self seeder(some may call this weedy) but you can always weed out the ones you don't want. It has a nice tall airy feel to it and it provides tons and tons of cheerfull pink blooms from the beginning of summer till the end of summer. I think it looks lovely when planted with russian sage, and some bee balm, some stone crop sedum and maybe some balloon flower. This plant is like a space filler when you are on a budget...but it can go a bit nuts...so you do need to weed it out just a bit...the word monoculture does come to mind...
