Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) seeds, organic
$3.95 – $44.10
Family: Mallow (Malvaceae)
Hardy to Zones 3 to 9
Herbaceous perennial native to Europe, flowering to 4 feet tall. The root is a nutritious food. Traditional usage (TWM): digestive, immune stimulant, ulcers. Plant prefers moist garden soil in the full sun or part shade. The plant likes regular watering and makes a lot of biomass, both above the ground and below. Sow in spring by scarifying seed on medium grit sandpaper, strewing on surface, barely covering with soil, tamping securely, and keeping evenly moist and warm until germination, which occurs in 1 to 2 weeks. Work seedlings up in pots or sow directly in garden. Thin or transplant to 2 feet apart.

Hi Richo, thank you and everyone at SMS for wonderful plants and seeds! Im wondering about smaller scale equipment for shredding marshmallow and other roots, rather than chopping. Seems like shredding generates a product that would release more constituents than chopping (and mechanizing the process of making root pieces smaller/faster drying/more extractable would be very helpful). Thank you!

Planted seeds in greenhouse back in 2020. Plants come back every year in zone 5. Beautiful dark green leaves and pink flowers. So far I’ve used only in salads. Delicious!
