Description

The listing, French Mallow Seeds (5+) Malva sylvestris from Thomas Jefferson's Monticello has ended.

When Thomas Jefferson noted "French Mallow" on an undated memorandum of cultivated flowers, he was probably referring to Malva sylvestris, a European native with handsome, hollyhock-like purplish-pink flowers. Some Charlottesville gardeners refer to it as "Baby Hollyhock" because of similarities to its more familiar mallow cousin; another common name is "Cheeses Mallow," a reference to the shape of the seed clusters.

Questions & Comments

a friend of mine had something very similar growing in her front yard and gave it to me. The leaves were more rounded, and the flower seemed more rounded, but I think yours is a match, so I am going to see if I can get this. The one she gave me, well, it withered up in the sun, but slowly getting its shape back.
