Althaea officinalis (Marsh Mallow) [20 Seeds]

$4.25

Germination Information: One approach is to sow the seeds (about 1/4 inch deep) in a pot in fall to early winter, setting them outdoors in a spot protected from mice, so they can germinate when conditions are right in spring. (The winter-sowing approach can work well with this species.)

Another option is to start them in warm, bright conditions. That’s how I started the plants that produced these seeds: I sowed them on March 1, on a heat mat under lights, and they began sprouting on March 3; with this early start, the plants flowered their first summer. Your experience may vary.
