Narrowleaf Globe Mallow - Pink

Sphaeralcea angustifolia, commonly known by names copper globemallow and narrow-leaved globemallow, is native to the southwestern United States as well as northern and central Mexico, where it grows in desert and plateau habitat. It produces many erect stems, approaching 6 ft tall in maximum height. It is woolly or felt-like in texture. The gray-green leaf blades are lance-shaped and have wavy or slightly lobed edges.

The flowers do not bloom regularly on the stem from bottom to top; new blossoms may appear high or low on the stem. The 5 petals are 1/2 inch long, and the flowers are cup-shaped. They usually bloom between June and November.
