Such an abundance of flowers! This very hardy member of the mallow family blooms from late June until deep into autumn. The plant can grow up to 2 m tall, and even taller in rich soil! Give them a sunny, not too wet spot and the pink flowers will appear in abundance. The petals are clearly separated in the center. With early sowing, flowering can even occur in the same year. Notable features are the light, pleasant honey scent of the flowers and the blisters on the leaves. This plant grows in the Himalayas up to an altitude of 3600 meters!

Sowing method: All year round. The seeds germinate erratically over an extended period. Therefore, do not discard the seedlings too soon. First sow in a seed tray: 3 weeks at 20°C. Then 3 weeks in the refrigerator. Repeat this process until enough seedlings have germinated. If seeds germinate between October and March, keep them indoors after emergence, in a cool and bright place (minimum 10°C). Transplant into pots.
