Rose Mallow (Lavatera Trimestris Tanagra) - This tropical looking flower is a joy to grow from Rose Mallow seeds!

Only leave stems where you can see new growth starting to emerge or the stem is swollen indicating new growth is about to emerge. Cut these stems above the new growth about 12 inches above ground level. If you are unsure if your stem is dead, bend it. If it snaps easily, it is dead.

One feeding in the spring with a slow-release complete fertilizer is all you need.
