Sidalcea hendersonii, Henderson’s Checkermallow Size:1.16 qt and bright orangeEach summer, this PNW native perennial sends up flower spikes in deep, bright pink above deep green, rounded foliage; the overall effect is reminiscent of a hollyhock. Regular summer water prolongs the bloom period from June until frost. Expect only one round of blooms with no summer irrigation. It tolerates a wide range of conditions but is native to Coastal tidal marshes and seasonally wet meadows. Best grown in full sun with regular water.
