Virginia
Mallow, Sida
Hermaphrodita
The globally imperiled
Virginia mallow is a tall perennial herb with deeply lobed, toothed
leaves. It produces clusters
of white flowers from June to October.
Periodically it is found in flooded riverbanks on loose, sandy or
rocky soil. A couple of
populations are found on flood plains.
It also thrives locally (becoming the dominant “weed’) along
roadsides and railroad banks.
