Apricot Mallow

Apricot Mallow Sphaeralcea ambigua

This selection of Mallow has spectacular flowers that will range in colors from deep coral to orange that absolutely glow. The almost non-stop flowers appear on 1'-4' stems rising above fuzzy gray-green foliage. Use this plant to add a blast of color to a succulent garden or in a desert border where it contrasts nicely with Apache Plume and beargrass. 

Growing Apricot Mallow

• Tolerates a wide range of temperatures and is drought tolerant once established.
• Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth, removing any dead or leggy growth.
