The seeds you sent produced beautifully. As usual from you guys. I wanted to ask a question but can’t find the form- can the root of High Mallow be used interchangeably with Althea officinalis, medicinally?

Hi Margaret, Thanks for your positive note. High mallow leaves and flowers are used in poulticing (see page 63 of “Growing Plant Medicine Vol 2” but the root is pretty fibrous in comparison to marshmallow, which is official. Richo
