Price range: $8.50 through $57.00
Family: Mallow (Malvaceae)
Hardy to Zones 3 to 9
The Latin name says it all–this plant is a healer extraordinaire. And, this healing comes in a fairly humble package, although actually the plant does flower rather gloriously. Marshmallow prefers full sun to part shade, rich, moist garden soil and poor drainage (ie clay) is not a problem. The herb may be dried for tea or the root sliced and dried for direct consumption. The effects are immune enhancing and healing to the gastrointestinal system, largely used for treating colds, influenza, fevers, urinary infections and ulcers. See “Making Plant Medicine.” Space plants 2 feet apart.
Potted plant, Certified Organically Grown

I receive 3 of these plants and made them companions to Mrs Mugwort and Miss Wormwood absinthe in the raised bed with about 200+ pounds of manure and coco coir mix. They all grew wonderfully well with extreme growth even when we went the the most dry year here in the Midwest with absolutely no rain at all. Very strange really, its usually very humid and plenty of rain. Now today is 11/28/24 and all of these plants are still putting out growth even in the cold is coming in. Richo, do these need to be cut down to the ground when the freeze comes soon?

I ordered and received 3 marshmallow plants. They were vibrant (but I could tell that winter is coming to Oregon). I planted them in gallon pots, as per the instructions and put them in my grow tent. They are growing like crazy and I will move them to the garden about the first of February (I am in Arizona). Very happy with the quality of the plant and the way they were packed. I love ordering plants, roots and seeds from you. Thank you so much.
