Description

Pink mallow is a tall and fast-growing shrub that grows best with contrasting herbaceous perennials. It makes a superb screening or hedge plant. It can also be used as a temporary filler in between shrubs.

To encourage growth, prune it back by a third in Autumn, this will also help it remain bushy. The Pink mallow needs a moderate amount of water.
