Add item to quote to see pricing

Sphaeralcea ambigua 'Papago Pink' is a resilient perennial that hails from the arid deserts of North America. Gracefully flourishing at a robust size of up to three feet in both height and width, its deeply lobed grey-green foliage creates an aesthetically pleasing contrast to the vibrant pink, globe-shaped flowers it charmingly exhibits. These radiant flowers bloom copiously from early spring to late summer, setting a lively scene that attracts the delightful dance of hummingbirds and the fluttering visits of butterflies. Aptly known as Papago Pink Globe Mallow, this tough beauty stands out with its notable drought tolerance, thriving in full sunlight while maintaining minimal water usage. Perfectly suited for dry soil, it adds an eye-catching pop of color to desert landscapes, sunny borders, and xeriscaping, making it a versatile star in any garden environment.
