Shrubs - Mallow - Superstition

Underutilized solid shrubs. A Sonoran native plant with velvety soft gray-green leaves. Orange to yellow flowers spring to summer. Medium to large sized shrubs for low water use landscapes. Best maintained in a shearing-free landscape. They have a moderate to fast growth habit and require minimal maintenance and water, especially once they have become established. Do give these plants room to grow and spread since shearing them to fit a space will ruin their overall form and character.
