Building a butterfly garden this year? Make sure you have a Zebrina Hollyhock Mallow (Malva sylvestris 'Zebrina') in the mix. Butterflies and hummingbirds will be frequent visitors to this two-toned beauty, but rabbits will stay away.
A deep red violet stripes these two-inch lavender blooms, giving them the look of a pinwheel. Hardy from zones 4 to 8, Zebrina begins blooming in midsummer and can continue for four months -- all the way into fall.
The plants can grow three to four feet high, but are only 18 to 24 inches wide. Zebrina is a short-lived perennial, but it comes true from seed, and will resow freely in your garden. It likes full sun and is more heat resistant than most hollyhock mallows.
