Description

Tara's Pink Cape Mallow is a charming and floriferous evergreen shrub that offers a delicate, continuous display of color. Its petite, hibiscus-like flowers are a soft, clear pink with deeper pink veining radiating from the center, giving them a subtle, captivating detail. Blooming almost non-stop from spring through fall, it creates a cloud of cheerful color above a neat mound of small, maple-like green leaves. This tough, sun-loving plant is exceptionally drought-tolerant once established, making it a perfect, low-care choice for borders, informal hedges, or containers.

Faqs

Q: How is it different from a Lavatera (Tree Mallow)?
A: While similar in flower form, Anisodontea is generally more compact, has smaller leaves and flowers, and often blooms over an even longer season. It is also typically more tender to frost than many Lavatera.

Q: Is it deer resistant?
A: Yes, it is generally considered deer resistant due to its fuzzy foliage and tough nature, making it a great choice for gardens where deer are a concern.
