Description
Sphaeralcea grossulariifolia
This stunner of a Western native plant attracts its own specialist bees!
This wonderful native mallow family plant dons striking orange flowers borne profusely on short-lived perennial plants that grow about 2’ tall. Very drought-tolerant once established. Thrives in poor soil and generously feeds oodles of little native pollinators, including the specialist Globemallow bee (Diadasia diminuta).
Seeds were sustainably wildcrafted in the Great Basin by Kyle and friends at Native-Seed Company.
125 seeds.
Directions: Direct sow in fall. For best results, nick seeds with knife and then refrigerate 6 weeks before planting.
