Sidalcea hendersonii

Sidalcea hendersonii or Henderson's checker mallow is an extremely rare native species found only from Oregon to BC. It can grow from 2-5 feet tall with lovely spires of light to mid pink mallow flowers that will bloom and rebloom from June until frost. Plants look like a dainty hollyhock. Deadhead to encourage more flowers. It is a provincially blue-listed species as its conservation status is of special concern due to habitat loss. Grow in evenly moist to even wet soils. Beloved by both butterflies and bees.

SPRING THRU FALL BLOOM! Do try my favorite cottagey perennial discovery of the past few years. You’ll love its non-stop bloom, pretty pink 1” hollyhock like flowers on upright branching stems to 30” tall & really appreciate how supremely strong & reliable it is in your garden, returning bigger & better after a Winter’s sleep. Cut spent spikes for best show. Butterflies & hummingbirds love them too! A nice tight foliar mound of rich green scalloped leaves sits firmly on the ground Spring thru Fall & will go deciduous in colder climates. Endangered native to coastal meadows & marshes of British Columbia, Washington & Oregon. Easily grown in a container - at least 5 gallon size - & makes nice romantic cut flowers too! Tolerates salt! Rich soil for best show. To 30” x 30”.
