Common Mallow Plug Plants Malva sylvestris
Common names include high mallow, tall mallow and cheese cakes.
Common mallow is a versatile, hardy perennial that brings both beauty and utility to any garden. With its striking, pink or purple, hibiscus-like flowers, it blooms from late spring to early fall, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. This low-maintenance plant thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soils and tolerates both full sun and partial shade.
Common mallow is an excellent choice for wildflower gardens or mixed borders, where it can add colour. Its soft, round leaves and flowers have long been used in herbal remedies, making it a valuable addition to any medicinal or edible garden. Whether you're looking to support local wildlife or enhance your garden’s biodiversity, common mallow is a perfect choice.
Our strong, healthy plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and are ready to be planted in their final position.
Sourced from native seed and grown for us in the UK, our plug plants are an ideal way to boost species in a wildflower meadow or to easily establish plants in your garden or in areas where seed germination can be erratic.
We recommend planting 5 plugs per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
