Sidalcea malviflora - Purpetta
Cheerful blooms, cottage garden charm
One of my big thrills recently was trying out this new, super EASY variety of our West Coast native "Checkermallow". Much sturdier, with larger and richer, fuchsia-pink blooms- held on many strong, multi-branching upright stems to 4' tall, it's a front or mid-bed beauty and swell for providing a vertical accent. Attractive low clump of glossy, roundish foliage. Blooms Summer thru Fall, with deadheading. Cut flowers and butterflies! Â Tough, long lived and tolerant of less than perfect soil, but give it fertile, loamy soil for best show.

Guarantee
We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
