The listing, Organic ✽ ZEBRA MALLOW ✽ 15 Seeds ✽ Butterfly Host Plant has ended.

These are seeds from my Zebra Mallow parent plant. This is a beautiful, long-blooming perennial. This is a chance to sow seeds & enjoy this beauty in your garden, because it does not transplant well as a plant. They do reproduce well, once established, and even re-seed themselve if left to naturalize. I grow this as a nectar and host plant for butterflies. They prefer a sunny site, but will bloom in part shade & have been drought tolerant in my yard. I believe the "strong shall survive" in my garden. You will appreciate my motto!
