Whorled mallow
Malva verticillata
Whorled mallow is a hardy, adaptable plant that grows well in partial shade and tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, making it low-maintenance for most gardens. Water consistently during dry spells but avoid waterlogging, as it prefers moderately moist, well-drained soil. It self-seeds readily, so deadhead spent flowers if you wish to control its spread.
