Zebrina Malva

Zebrina Malva, or Zebra mallow, is a favorite of English cottage gardeners. Butterflies adore this vertically-growing, easy-case plant. Its pale pink blooms marked with deep purple striping add a an eye-catching pattern to the garden. Each showy, light pink flower opens in a wide cup, showing off jammy stripes. Zebra Mallow draws in butterflies and bees with its sweet nectar, and serves as one of North America's host plants for the Painted Lady butterfly. While Zebra Mallow typically survives for only a few years, it self-seeds easily, so you can count on swift naturalization. Malva sylvestris 'Zebrina'
