40 Seeds Dwarf White Rose Mallow Lavatera trimestris Annual Flower

Dwarf White Rose Mallow (Lavatera trimestris) is a compact annual flowering plant known for its large, satiny white blooms that resemble small hollyhocks. Reaching about 18 to 24 inches tall, it forms a bushy, well-branched mound that flowers freely over a long summer season, making it a favorite for borders, beds, and container plantings where a bright, clean color is desired.
Grown as an ornamental, this mallow works well in cottage gardens, pollinator-friendly plantings, and cut flower arrangements, where its stems and soft white petals add airy texture. It grows quickly from seed, prefers full sun, and blooms best with consistent moisture and good drainage. Deadheading encourages continued flowering through the season. It is typically treated as an annual in most climates.
