Common name tree mallow Family malvaceae Life cycle tender perennial (Z8) Flowers pink Size tall Light From seed germinate at room temperature - exposure to light may be helpful detailed seed-starting info below Seed ripens late July Supposedly a tender perennial. It didn't get tall for us in its one year of growth, but it did manage to bloom. The next year, it was right back, and grew much taller. We did have a relatively mild winter, so hardiness in our garden remains to be established. The flowers look just like many other mallows, to my eyes.

Early November, hesitating to open itself
