Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) potted plant, organic
$8.50 – $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.

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.
