Desert globemallow
A woolly perennial that grows to 3 feet tall and almost as wide.
Earning its specific epithet “ambigua,” Desert Globemallow’s flowers vary in color from orange to a rose-like salmon-color. The large flowers appear in loose clusters from spring to late fall. It can bloom nearly year-round in the warmest regions and is native to the dry regions of the US and Mexico. Low maintenance, can be cut back periodically to maintain shape.
Works well in beds and borders as well as in a container. A superstar in a drought tolerant garden. Hardy, beautiful color and butterfly magnet!
