Sidalcea - False Mallow or Prairie Mallow

This genus has 20 to 25 species, most are perennials but a few are annuals or short lived. They are native from Western and Central North America, were they are found growing in grasslands, open woodlands or along steams in mountainous areas. The plants have Hollyhock like flowers with 5 petals that are in dense racemes. Flower colors include white, pink and purple-pink. A number of hybrids have been produced to increase the number of flower colors.

Best grown in moderately fertile soils that are humus rich and moist but well draining. They like neutral to slightly acid soils in full sun to part shade. They hate to be in waterlogged soils and do not over winter well when wet. After flowering cut back to promote a second flush of flowering and prevent self seeding.

Normally easy to grow - if planted in the right soils. They can some times be damaged by rust, slugs and Japanese Beetles.
