This is the happiest I've ever seen it growing. I've been having them pop up ever since I lived in a rental that had them in Humboldt CA, now in central valley CA it's really showing off what it's capable of.
It started off with no variegation, then as it grew more robust the variegation got more and more intense. Unlike the little common mallows this one is huge and more cold tolerant in the winter. plants will live for a couple years before dying. The flowers are so big they look like mini hollyhocks, and the leaves are soft and fuzzy. They are self-fertile it seems.
