Rose mallow - mix rose mallow is native to the Mediterranean region. It requires full sun and can grow in a wide range of soils. This flower does the best if it is planted in well-drained soil, but it can also handle itself in soil that is drier. It is recommended to start it outdoors, as it does not transplant with a high success rate. It can be planted in the spring or fall in zones 7-10. Typically, it will grow into a tall shrub, and then die when the first frost comes. It also perfects for cut flower and deadheading it will promote more blooms.
