Comments:
This mallow, native to Texas and associated with relatively shallow, gravelly, dry limestone soils but can tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. Plants can sometime be quite open and leggy, but the bright pink flowers with yellow stamens can be very showy. Plants usually die back to the roots or to the lower base of the shrub but growth returns in early spring with flowering occurring from spring until frost. Self-seeding is common where conditions are favorable. Old plants can be cut back severely to encourage a fuller habit of growth.
