These are freshly picked (Aug 2015) from my yard (heirloom)
Very beautiful, most grow about 3 to 4 feet but a few of mine got over 5 feet tall! They produce lots of seeds.

Malva sylvestris 'Zebrina' is an easily raised perennial which thrives in sun or part shade, producing strong, erect stems crammed with white to pink flowers with purple, almost black 'flamed' markings. The purple veins out as if stroked on with a paint brush to show striking stripes!

Zebrina will flower the first season from seed, it is very easy to grow and will bloom profusely in a sunny position Although it is regarded as a plant suitable for part shade, it will grow less spindly in full sun.

Malva is one of the truly grand old-fashioned flowers of that almost mythical English Cottage Garden, which so many people strive to recreate. The foliage is finely lobed and possesses the elegance of some ferns. Excellent in containers, or the sunny border, the flowers are very attractive to butterflies.

Sowing: Sow in February to June or September to October
Seed is best sown in a cold frame in spring or autumn but can also be sown directly where they are to flower. 
Seed germinates quickly and easily.

Sowing Direct: 
Alternatively, sow in late spring into a well raked bed ensuring that the soil is fine and crumbly. Scatter the seed, rake lightly and firm down well. Keep well watered and weeded in early stages. When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 18in apart.

Little maintenance is needed and Malva are not fussy about soil pH, but prefers moist but well-drained or well-drained soil and is a very hardy plant. It will tolerate temperatures down to about minus 25°C (-13°F) when it is dormant in the winter.
