Anisodontea x hypomandarum

Cape Mallow

White to deep magenta flowers with a dark spot on the base grace this group of evergreen plants and low shrubs from South Africa. Leaves are heart-shaped or lobed. Water during the growing and blooming seasons and less at other times. Sometimes sold as Malvastrum.

In mild-winter areas, this is an almost non-stop, profusely blooming shrub that can be trained into a single stem with a crown of leaves and flowers at the top. Cut back heavily after flowering to keep it compact. Drought tolerant once established.
