Malva 'Zebrina' is perfect for adding drama without being overpowering, with its unique violet-pink flowers lasting through the summer and into autumn. Whether used in mixed borders, cottage gardens, or naturalistic planting schemes, Malva 'Zebrina' brings effortless beauty to your garden, making it a firm favourite for both novice and experienced gardeners alike.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
