Malva moschate alba
Low-maintenance and, thanks to all that pollen, a veritable bee paradise. It flowers continuously and copes really well with droughts.
Fresh, pure-white flowers and leaves that smell faintly like musk.
To be honest, I find it difficult to choose between the White Musk Mallow, the "Mauritanian Mallow", the "Rose Mallow" and the "Wild Mallow".
Winner of the “RHS Award of Garden Merit for reliability and good performance”.
