Not only are mallows wonderful ornamental garden plants, they are also widely cultivated for food (edible mallows include okra, marshmallows, chocolate), drink (herbal tea, cola) and for fiber (cotton, kenaf, jute). Although most mallows are tropical, it is a large family (over 1000 species) so there are still many mallows that are perennial in temperate gardens. Don't let your garden go fallow. Plant a mallow! Just avoid the weedy common mallow, Malva neglecta.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes a mallow, a mallow? Mallow plants are defined to include all members of the plant family \u003cem\u003eMalvaceae\u003c\/em\u003e which are distinguished from other plants by having a unique floral anatomy. Mallow plant stamens (the male sex parts) are fused together into a tube that surrounds the pistil (female sex part) and the whole structure looks like a funny bottle brush. In addition, mallows produce lots of gooey mucilage in the leaves, stems, roots and immature seed pods...which is what okra is. This syrupy, gelatinous goo is valuable in cooking as it thickens soups and sauces, and can be whipped to make marshmallows.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMallow flowers range in size from small (shallow mallow) 3\/4\" wide \u003ca title=\"Shop all Malvaviscus\" href=\"\/collections\/malvaviscus-turks-cap-mallow\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMalvaviscus\u003c\/a\u003e blooms up to the gigantic, dinner-plate sized flowers of hardy Hibiscus (a mallow to hallow).
