Saltmarsh Mallow

Wetland wildflower garden.

Tolerant of inundation with brackish water



Moderate. Tolerant of salty wind and may get some salt spray. Exposure to salt spray would be uncommon (major storms).

Attracts hummingbirds.

Salt, brackish, or fresh water marshes, sloughs, ditches, borders of mangrove and other swamps, wet forest clearings.

• Showy flowers
• Attracts butterflies and various pollinators.

Fruit ones don't come true from seed so propagate vegetatively with either cuttings or by grafting onto a hardy

rootstock.

• The plant is smaller, typically a large shrub, and more cold hardy. The fruits are sweet, with a thinner, edible red skin and the white flesh interior has a lovely strawberry-like flavor.
• One fruit one contains up to four times more vitamin C than an orange!
• There's an imposter fruit one! The pineapple fruit one, or feijoa, isn't a fruit one at all, but an entirely different fruit from South America.
