Musk Mallow (Malva moschata)

Musk Mallow is a graceful, long-flowering perennial with finely cut, mid-green leaves and silky, saucer-shaped blooms in soft pink that appear from early summer into autumn. Its light, airy habit fits beautifully into cottage gardens, wildflower mixes, and pollinator-friendly borders. Once established, it will gently self-seed and return year after year.

The flowers are edible with a subtle floral flavour, perfect for scattering over salads, desserts, or using as natural cake decorations. While not as mucilaginous as other mallows, young leaves can also be eaten raw or cooked, and the plant has a long history of traditional herbal use.

Tough and undemanding, Musk Mallow thrives in poor soils, resists drought, and supports bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects throughout its long bloom time. Light, resilient, and beautifully informal, it?s an ideal choice for naturalistic planting schemes and relaxed edible gardens.

FAQs

We hope our FAQ’s help, but if you need any further information please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

We can only send orders to other parts of mainland GB due to strict regulations for the sending of plant materials and sadly we do not have the capacity to fill in phytosanitary certificates.

As we are a small business we currently have one packing day a week, and so expect your delivery within 2 weeks from ordering your plants.

At this moment in time we are not open for visits to the nursery, however if you come on a volunteer day or in-person course with Huw or Sam at Dan Yr Onnen you can of course then see the nursery and purchase plants in person.

Because working with plants can be an unpredictable business, for simplicity we do not offer pre-orders on all products however we may occasuinally open certain orders for pre orders and these will be clearly marked. The best time to know that we have restocked is to join our mailing list followed by looking out for updates on our Instagram.

We have decided to focus on growing plants 100% naturally without the limitations of going with organic certification. No artificial pesticides, fungicides, or anyother-icides are used on site.
