A beloved classic cottage garden flower with roots in the Mediterranean, Malope transforms into a semi-shrub studded with clusters of satiny blossoms throughout the summer. In areas with cooler temperatures and lower humidity, its beauty shines in the middle of the border or as part of a cutting garden, especially when planted in the well-draining, light soil that encourages its growth. Butterflies and bees will be frequent visitors. Provide plenty of air circulation around the plants, as this will help prevent disease. Regular deadheading or cutting for bouquets will extend its blooming period. As a bonus, you can pluck a few blossoms to use as extravagant edible garnishes.
