Growing Instructions
Mallow prefers full sun but will tolerate partial shade and grows well in a wide range of soils, as long as they are well-drained.
It self-seeds readily and can naturalise in garden spaces if not deadheaded, though it’s not invasive. Cut back after flowering to encourage a second flush and prevent legginess. A beautiful and useful addition to wildlife-friendly gardens, cottage borders, or herbal polycultures.
