Musk Mallow (Malva moschata) Seeds
Musk mallow is an upright perennial with dainty pink flowers. It is easy to grow from seed and looks wonderful amongst other summer-flowering wildflowers, such as Oxeye Daisy. The flowers produce a musky fragrance in warm weather, attracting bees and the painted lady butterfly. A bushy plant, it flowers abundantly through July and August.
All parts of the musk mallow plant are edible, and it has a long history of culinary use. The leaves, which are great in salads, can be eaten raw or cooked while the seeds make a lovely snack. The roots, flowers, and leaves can all be boiled in water to create a herbal tea.
