Mallow is an annual and perennial plant which has edible leaves. Its flowers attract especially butterflies.

Mallow has been believed to protect homes and ward off negative energies since ancient times. It has also been used in potions and protective charms.

The Lysiosepalum involucratum are looking pretty good in the nursery this weekend. This compact native shrub from WA is probably the best of the obscure small Aussie Malvaceae in SE NSW where it does surprisingly well in summer humidity (with excellent drainage) and usually features a mass of delicate pink/mauve flowers from winter into spring (but also can flower as early as autumn).

Can be found occasionally in east coast nurseries but not well known at all - another native shrub that would definitely benefit from someone coming up with a catchy common name!
