Munro's Globemallow

 

Munroe's globemallow is a tough, native perennial. The silvery-green leaves grow as a mound.

In mid-summer, flowering stalks appear on the plant, with pretty orange flowers with yellow centers similar to those on hollyhock.

Munroe's globemallow is incredibly resilient, and can work well in sunny areas that get very little extra water. If it gets too much shade or water, it will flop.
