The Musk Mallow (Malva moschata) is an erect perennial with multiple stems and a delicate 5 petaled pink flower of dry grasslands. This makes it ideally suited to be planted or seeded on to any green roof, especially those that are designed specifically for wildlife and biodiversity. The flowers are attractive to the full range of pollinators from bumblebees to butterflies.

Occasionally the white flowers of Musk Mallow can be encountered. The seed pods are also very attractive – like green Chinese fortune cookies!
