Plant Profile:
#Join OurGrowing Team
Family: Malvaceae (Mallow)
Height: 60cm
Colour: Pink
Best time to see: June – August
Habitat: Hedgerows, Road Verges,
Field Edges
Flowers have 5 large, pink petals which have a
tracery of purple veins running through them.
Flowers grow in clusters at the top of the tall,
hairy stems.
The stem leaves are deeply cut into 5-7
narrow lobes. This is a key feature which
differentiates Musk Mallow from its close
relative, Common Mallow (Malva sylvestris).
How to Identify
A tall plant with pretty pink flowers, which brighten up the
edges and corners of hedges and fields.
The 'musk' in it's common name refers to the pleasant
odour produced by the flowers.
Bring your Musk Mallow plants inside and the musky
smell will get much stronger!

Mae gan y blodau bum petal mawr pinc, sydd â
threswaith o wythiennau porffor yn rhedeg trwyddynt.
Mae'r blodau'n tyfu mewn clystyrau ar frig y coesynnau
blewog tal.
Mae gan ddail y coesyn doriadau dwfn ynddynt, sy'n
ffurfio 5-7 llabed gul. Mae hon yn nodwedd allweddol
sy'n gwahaniaethu'r hocysen fwsg oddi wrth ei
pherthynas agos, yr Hocysen (Malva sylvestris).
