Botanical facts are drawn from Malva trimestris — NC State Extension Plant Toolbox (reference checked September 23, 2026). General preparation and design principles reference University of Minnesota Extension. Garden bloom seasons describe a plant in the reference’s growing context, not global wholesale availability. Images show botanical references and may depict a different cultivar or commercial stage. Stemwork does not publish live supplier inventory, wholesale prices, or guaranteed vase-life claims.
