Zebrina Mallow
Malva sylvestris 'Zebrina'
4-inch pot
 
One tough perennial!  'Zebrina' sports soft pink flowers with striking, raspberry-purple veins, achieving a pinwheel effect. These outstanding 2-inch, bowl-shaped flowers are produced in abundance from early summer to frost on robust, shrub-like plants.
 
Heat and drought are not a problem for this perennial. Though it is sometimes short-lived, Malva will self-seed readily assuring years of blooms. 'Zebrina' is often covered with butterflies, and visited by loads of honey bees and hummingbirds. Deer and rabbit resistant.
