Malva moschata

Comment from Miriam Mesa-Villalba

Musk mallow is a neater and more elegant relative of the common mallow. The kidney-shaped, three-lobed leaves on this plant become more and more feathery towards the top of the stem. Musk mallow is found in hedgebanks and grassy places. It spreads by seed.

What Shoot members say...

"My garden has never had so much attention, which without the help, and information Shoot supplies would probably have suffered in the long term. So a great big THANK YOU to Shoot, and keep up the good work."
