Typically growing to between 2'-3' tall, the one in my yard towers at over 6' (2m!). A couple of years ago I tossed a handful of musk mallow seeds out over a raked bit of barren ground, and now look what we have brightening our day.
Its seeds, flowers, and leaves are all edible either raw or cooked, and a tea can be made from them as well. Medicinally, musk mallow is used to treat: Generally used more externally to treat insect bites, bruises and rashes, internally taken it aids in respiratory ailments as well as intestinal distress. Is a good laxative for young children.
