Variegated Mallows

Variegated mallows are one of the most under-rated foliage plants in my garden. Well - not by me, but many other gardeners consider them a total weed. Think again!

Enough self-sown seedlings appear for the following year's stock. When plants get too old they can be pulled out easily, often one-handed. They'll prune, too. And they do all this in reasonably poor, dry soil. Yippee!
