Sidalcea Sussex Beauty

'Sussex Beauty' is an elegant prairie mallow with upright stems carrying a long succession of soft blush-pink, saucer-shaped flowers. Each bloom has a silky texture and fine darker veins, opening from late summer into autumn above rounded basal leaves and more deeply divided stem foliage. The light, vertical habit fits naturally among roses, grasses and cottage perennials and supplies useful stems for cutting. Hardy and clump forming, it performs best in full sun and fertile, moist but well-drained soil that never remains saturated in winter.
