Marsh Mallow

250 seeds

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or directly outdoors after the last frost, in well-draining, fertile soil. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a sunny to partially shaded spot. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as Marsh Mallow prefers wet, boggy conditions. Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart to allow for healthy growth. This plant thrives in moderate temperatures (60°F - 75°F/15°C - 24°C) and benefits from a slightly acidic to neutral pH soil. Fertilize with compost or a balanced fertilizer to support strong growth. Water regularly, especially in dry weather. Harvest the leaves and roots after 90-120 days when the plant is fully established.
