Bull Mallow

Bull Mallow (Malva nicaeensis) is a perennial herb that thrives in moist to light soils with a pH of 7-7.5. Native to regions including Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, and parts of Europe and North Africa, this plant has also been naturalized in several other areas such as the Canary Islands and Corsica. Known for its edible leaves and seeds, it can grow up to 0.5 meters tall and prefers a hardiness zone between 6-9. One distinctive feature is its light, airy habit that sets it apart from other mallow species; another notable characteristic is its ability to adapt to various soil types, including sandy, medium, and clay soils.
