Zebra Striped Mallow Flower (Malva sylvestris var. mauritiana 'Zebrina') This old time cottage garden favourite is a long blooming plant closely related to the hollyhock. Zebra Mallow is a perennial but a biennial in most regions under zone 6. Zebra Mallow is easy to grow in full sun and well drained soils. The flowers are long lived, showy pink-lavender petals with raspberry striping, born on spikes reaching upwards of 3-4 feet. Can become bush-like by mid summer eventually flowering itself to death after a few fall frosts! Hardy in zones 4-9.
