Malva sylvestris 'Purple Satin'
Among the Most Colorful and Floriferous of Mallows!
To say that the flowers are eye-catching is an understatement. They simply vibrate bright hues! Each measures about 2½ inches wide, and they perch atop fresh green, broadly lobed foliage that keeps 'Purple Satin' looking handsome even out of bloom. Expect the flowers to begin with the first breath of summer heat and continue until the autumn chill.
'Purple Satin' is very tolerant of heat and drought, and nibbling rabbits and other small creatures tend to leave it alone. It's simply a joy in the sunny border, cottage garden, or meadow, reaching 3 to 4 feet high and about 2 to 3 feet wide. You just can't find a more reliable, attention-getting source of summer-long blooms! Zones 4-8.
