I think you must treat this plant as biennial or even as an annual. Other
sylvestris types bloom the first season and almost never return here. You
can collect the seed and keep some cool indoors as reseeding does not usually
happen here where is is very cold also. Malva sylvestris is very easy to
grow from seed.
