    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Recommended in 1935 by garden maven Louise Beebe Wilder for its quick bloom and long flowering season! A relative of lavatera, it has glistening striped petals that narrow at the base revealing the green calyx beneath. 'Vulcan' has larger flowers than the species and a good branching habit.

    A surprising luminous lime green 5-pointed star sets off the stunning 2-1/2-3” satiny cerise-red blooms of this old cottage garden annual mallow. Fast, easy, bushy & very full flowering, Malope trifida ‘Vulcan’ quickly grows to a multi-branching 3’ tall & 2’ across. Long blooming, nice for filling in large empty spaces & makes an excellent cut flower too! Rich, composty soil is best.
