This beautiful cultivar of tree mallow loves the sun and warmth, so give it the warmest spot in the garden, ideally against a south-facing wall or in the lee protected from northerly drafts. Plant the seedlings in permeable and loamy soil that is not too heavy or clayey. If you have heavy soil in your garden, lighten it during planting by mixing in sand or fine gravel. Since the plant reaches a height of up to two meters and forms wide tufts, give it plenty of space (spacing approx. 75 cm). Thanks to this, air will circulate between the leaves, which is the best prevention against mallow rust, which can trouble plants in dense plantings.
To keep your 'Candy Floss' tree mallow literally covered in flowers resembling cotton candy all summer long, it is advisable to continuously remove the faded parts. This will prevent seed formation and the plant will invest its energy into creating new buds. Choose moderate watering – the plant cannot tolerate permanent wetness, but in hot summer days, especially if you are growing it in a container, it needs water. When growing in a pot, make sure it is sufficiently large and stable, because the tall plant could easily be knocked over by the wind.
A crucial point of care is overwintering. Tree mallow is only partially frost-hardy, so it must be prepared for the arrival of winter. With the onset of the first frosts, cover the base of the plant with a thick layer of mulch, evergreen branches, or straw. Despite all the care, the tree mallow often behaves as a short-lived perennial that only lasts a few seasons in its location. However, this is more than compensated for by its speed of growth and the intensity of its flowering right in the first year after planting. Don't be afraid to do a deeper cut in the spring; the plant regenerates very well and will rejuvenate itself.
In addition to its ornamental function, the tree mallow also fulfills a utilitarian role. Its delicate flowers are edible and look great in summer desserts. At the same time, the plant is a great attraction for bees and other pollinators. During the season, check for aphids, which can appear on young shoots. If you decide to grow it in a container, don't forget to regularly fertilize with a fertilizer for flowering plants, as nutrients in a pot are depleted faster than in the open ground.
