Establishing Musk Mallow from flower seeds is very rewarding. To get a jump start on the growing season, you can certainly sow the seeds indoors or in the greenhouse 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost date. Use starter trays and quality starter mix and sow the Musk Mallow seeds on the surface, pressing them into the soil to make good contact. Keep them consistently moist. Sowing the flower seeds directly outdoors is an option as well. Prepare soil bed, sow the seeds on the surface and dust over them very lightly with loose garden soil. Keep the flower seeds moist until germination has occurred. Young Mallow plants can be transplanted or even moved to other positions in the garden. This particular variety will flower the first year! During the bloom season, water Mallow plants well and fertilize. After bloom season, cut back the stalks hard, down to just 3 - 4 inches above ground. Depending on your location and growing season, the plants may come back for a second bloom in late summer or early fall.
