Cultivation method:
Sow 'Braveheart' mallow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost or start them indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant them 1/2 to 3/4 inch deep in well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. Transplant the seedlings to the garden when temperatures are mild.
Space plants 50-60cm apart to allow them to fully develop. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but be careful not to let the soil become soggy. Remove spent flowers to encourage prolonged flowering and allow some seeds to mature to allow the plant to reseed naturally.
With its spectacular flowering and ease of cultivation, 'Braveheart' mallow is an ideal choice for creating a colourful, lively and low-maintenance garden.
