Product Description

Malva moschata: 3’ high x 2’ wide / full sun to part shade / zone 4

This is a hardy perennial with mucilaginous leaves that can be eaten raw in salads or cooked in soups and stews.  The pretty purple flowers are also edible.  It is fairly short-lived, but self-sows prolifically.  Native to Europe, musk mallow also provides nectar to, and shelter for, beneficial insects.
