Musk Mallow (Malva moschata) is a charming, lightly fragrant perennial wildflower — a bushier, shorter, and more delicate companion to the French Hollyhock, producing an abundance of saucer-shaped 3 to 5 cm rose-pink flowers on gracefully branching stems throughout a long blooming season. The flowers carry a distinctive gentle musky fragrance that intensifies on warm sunny days and when brought indoors as cut flowers. Both the flowers and the distinctive deeply lobed foliage are musk-scented when crushed. Listed on the RHS Perfect for Pollinators list. Fully edible — leaves, flowers, and seeds all have culinary and traditional medicinal uses. In Kuwait, grown as a cool-season annual for a winter-to-spring display from November through April.
