Tree-mallow is a striking, costal biennial growing up to 3m tall. With a spike of large, deep pink flowers with darker pink veins and ivy shaped, velvety leaves it is unlikely to be mistaken for any other native plant.
It is found around the coast of southern Britain but may have been introduced to many sites and might only be native in the milder west and southwest coasts. The flowers, which bloom throughout June to September, are visited by bees as they offer both nectar and pollen.
