DESCRIPTION
Malva alcea var. 'Fastigiata' is a compact, upright variety of the common mallow, known for its rich, funnel-shaped pink or purple flowers that bloom throughout the summer. The plant produces an abundance of blossoms, typically from early summer to early fall, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The blooms are held above lobed, soft green leaves, adding a vibrant touch to the garden.
Native to Europe, this variety of Malva alcea is a cultivar that offers a more refined, vertical growth habit compared to the more spreading types. 'Fastigiata' is often chosen for its decorative appearance in cottage gardens, as well as for adding color and texture to borders and flower beds. Its upright nature and consistent blooming make it an excellent choice for gardens that need both structure and visual appeal during the warmer months.
