What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Marsh Mallow, or Althaea officinalis, is a resilient plant native to Europe but naturalized in America. It boasts pale pink flowers and grayish leaves, adding beauty and diversity to your garden while offering a range of traditional uses.

  • Beneficial Herb Garden Plants - Marsh Mallow is a perennial herb that can grow up to 4 feet in height, producing lovely pink-white blossoms that have a sweet scent and are lovely as cut flowers. It is highly resilient and will live in both full sun or partial shade. It thrives in well-drained soil and can tolerate drought conditions once established.
  • Culinary & Medicinal Uses - This herb is not only attractive but also has historical and medicinal value. Its leaves, flowers, and root have been traditionally used in herbal medicine, known for their soothing properties. The edible plant was historically used to make a sweet treat that inspired today's marshmallow candy.
