This plant needs to be placed in full sun and should not be overfed. Doing so would make it liable to flop and placing it in areas of shade will make it lean towards the light. It produces many five petalled rose-pink flowers with a darker centre from mid-summer into autumn which are a magnet for pollinators, in particular all types of bees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardy to -20C, this is a tough specimen that produces a deep tap root and will self-seed about happily. Over time a single plant will establish itself as a clump. A fantastic addition for a sunny wildlife garden or in areas of quite poor soil and fast drainage. Unlike some other plants in the family Malvaceae it is not troubled by rust. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight x Spread: 140cm x 100cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hardys Cottage Garden Plants","offers":[{"title":"1 Litre","offer_id":53029296636246,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/4928\/0598\/files\/Althaeaarmenica.jpg?v=1775278991"},{"product_id":"althaea-officinalis","title":"Althaea officinalis","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlthaea officinalis \u003c\/em\u003eis commonly known as Marsh Mallow.  This native herbaceous perennial boasts small dish shaped, pale lilac-pink flowers held aloft on tall stems above hairy grey-green foliage.  Blooming from mid summer through to the autumn, it is a good choice for a wildlife or informal cottage garden style attracting bees and butterflies in their droves.  But with its tendency to self seed, you may find it gently travelling around your garden over the years.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTolerant of most soils, Marsh Mallow flourishes in a fertile, good soil especially in full sun, but can also tolerate partial shade too. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight and Spread: 150cm x 100cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hardys Cottage Garden Plants","offers":[{"title":"1 Litre","offer_id":53029310595414,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/4928\/0598\/files\/Althaeacannabina.jpg?v=1775279315"}],"url":"https:\/\/hardysplants.co.uk\/collections\/althaea.oembed","provider":"Hardy's Cottage Garden Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
