1 x potted mallow - Medium
Malva sylvestris
Mallow is a short-lived perennial that is grown for both its appearance and culinary use.
Mallow thrives in sun or part-shade and can survive on poor soils.
Young leaves and flowers are mild tasting and can be added to salads. Older leaves can be cooked and used in place of spinach. The small fruits that grow on the plants can also be eaten raw or pickled and used instead of capers in Mediterranean dishes.
