Malope
Hardy Annual.
Two to three feet.
Flowers reddish crimson, July and August.
A fine annual Mallow, closely resembling the
Lavatera.
T
he flowers are single, trumpet or convolvulus
shaped, and of a good crimson, streaked with close-set
lines of a darker shade.
There is also a sort with pure white flowers.

foot apart in the clump.
The Malope seems to be rather less susceptible
to the Mallow disease than the Lavatera and some
others of the genus.
