The listing, Malva Zebrina, qty 10 seeds has ended.
Someone--a lovely Listia person whom I never got the chance to thank, so I'll do it now. Thanks!-- told me the name of my mystery plant. It's Malva Zebrina. This makes sense. I pilfered some seeds a few years back to grow these on my cat Zebrina's grave and here it is growing in USDA zone 5b, pretty as you please.
It’s a perennial, 2-3 feet tall but rather spindly and tends to sprawl on the ground. The flowers are profuse and pretty-as-a-picture! A pale pink, with darker pink veining and the foliage is unique and fern-like. Over-all a very sweet little plant which seems to like to spread and self-sow so you’ll always have it.
Planting instructions:
In my garden these seeds grow all by themselves. The seeds fall from the plant and grow where they fall without me doing anything. So, duplicate that and you’ll be fine. All you have to do is plant the seeds (with about a ¼ inch covering of soil) either directly in the ground in fertile soil or in potting soil in a pot. Just water and sun is needed after that. Depending on when you plant them, it may take several days or even weeks for germination, so be patient. If you need any further help, email me and I’ll try to walk you through it : Glory.lennon@gmail.com
As soon as a verified address is supplied to me, I will ship out the next business day.
All Listia rules apply, of course. Please think and be quite certain you want these before you bid. I can’t ignore bids once they are posted. If you bid and win regardless of buyer’s remorse, I’m keeping the credits.
