Re: Mallow

Hi Jeanne,

Yes, they are lovely.  I have them in with Nepetas and 
Perovskias and an assortment of silver plants.  They also look 
great with bronze fennel.  And they do seed about prolifically.  
I just dig up the babies and give them to folks.  They aren't 
what I'd term invasive.  They are sort of like Sidalcea in that. 
So I mostly just let them go.  'Course I also have an envelope 
in a ziploc bag with about 4 oz. of seed and I can't find it 
anywhere.  %-)

The only thing about your note that made me wince was WFF.  
Don't get me wrong, they are a wonderful nursery, but I got 3 
little guys from Bluestone Perennials for $8.00 and they bloomed 
the first year.  Anything that is "commonly found" please ask 
friends, on lists, etc. before buying from the expensive guys ~ 
save yourself some $ for more plants.
