Napaea dioica (Glade Mallow)

Sun to Part SunZone: 5-7 84" tall Origin: USA

Web-Only! (syn: Sida dioica) Here is a very cool plant to fool your favorite know-it-all gardener. This US native (from Minnesota south to Virginia) is found in moist prairies, ditches, and marginal wetlands. This hibiscus relative will make even the most avid gardener swear it's a ligularia. The 11-lobed, dark green leaves form a 3' wide basal clump that looks quite saxifragesque. In early summer, the clump gives rise to a 7' tall stalk of white malva-like flowers. We have found this to do best in a moist, partial-sun site. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
