Mallow (Malva Sylvestris Mystic Merlin) - What an incredible source of color for the xeriscape flower garden! Grown from mallow flower seeds, Mystic Merlin, produces a rich tapestry of colors; deep violet, purple, mauve and blue. The blooms are 2 inches across and many are striped with a darker shade. Instead of growing straight up a stock as the old-fashioned hollyhocks did, this perennial has a very dense bushy look as it reaches 48 - 60 inches tall and 24 inches wide. It is perfect for the back of the flower border, and it's long-blooming and hardworking. You will love these perennial Hollyhocks, and so do the bees! This Malva variety is commonly known as French Hollyhock or mallow.

Establishing hollyhocks from flower seeds is very rewarding. To get a jump start on the growing season, you can sow seeds indoors or in the greenhouse 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost date. Use starter trays and quality starter mix and sow the hollyhock seeds on the surface, pressing them into the soil to make good contact. Keep them consistently moist. Sowing the flower seeds directly outdoors is an option as well. Prepare soil bed, sow the seeds on the surface and dust over them very lightly with loose garden soil. Keep the Mystic Merlin seeds moist until germination has occurred. Young seedlings can be transplanted or even moved to other positions in the garden. The first year the seed is sown, they will establish their root system, and the second year the colorful show will begin and also become resistant to drought. During the bloom season, water plants well and fertilize. After bloom season, cut back the stalks hard, down to just 3 - 4 inches above ground. Depending on your location and growing season, the plants may come back for a second bloom in late summer or early fall.
