Annual Mallow (Malope Trifida Mix) - Start Malope Trifida seeds and enjoy this colorful annual in your flower beds and borders. The Malope flower is showy with 5 petals and comes in a rich mix of shades. The flowers form on long sturdy stems making them great for cutting. The Malope plant is well-branched, reaching about 36 inches in height and spreading about 20 inches in width. Annual Mallow grows quickly and blooms heavily. The blooming will last longer with deadheading of the spent flowers.
Start Malope seeds indoors in early spring. Cover the flower seed lightly with soil. Transplant the the Annual Mallow seedlings into larger pots once they are large enough to handle and continue growing them in a protected, cool area. Set the Molope plants into their permanent place after frost danger has passed. For areas with a longer growing season, the Malope seeds can be sown directly outdoors into a prepared seedbed once frost season is over. Malope plants needs full sun for at least 6 hours per day and a well-drained soil mix.
