Greek Mallow
Sidalcea oregana Brilliant
Tall, stately spikes of beautiful, bright red blooms with a spectacular, glowing appearance are produced in abundance throughout the summer. This is a charming, old-fashioned variety with a mounding growth habit and attractively lobed, mid-green leaves. Thriving in any reasonable garden soil, it’s excellent for the cottage garden and makes a great accent plant in perennial borders or wildflower meadows. A robust, easy-to-grow variety whose tall flowering stems and long-lasting flowers make it perfect for using in cut flower arrangements.

Garden Care:
Incorporate lots of well-rotted organic matter into the backfill when planting. Apply generous well rotted organic mulch in early spring and keep well-watered during periods of dry weather.Please Note: Many perennials go ‘dormant’ which, in some cases, means that there is little or no top growth apparent between November and March. If you order perennials whilst they are dormant, they may not be visible above the soil level when purchased but will burst into life in spring. In the dormant period, we may not have stocks of all varieties in all pot sizes and therefore reserve the right to supply 9cm pots instead of 1 or 2 litre plants and adjust the price down accordingly
