(Cutting Grown)
Sphaeralcea philippiana was previously listed in the nursery trade as a trailing form of Sphaeralcea munroana, native to the western United States. Now performing under its actual name, this little powerhouse from Argentina deserves a lot more attention.
 
Low growing, a profuse bloomer and fuss free. It holds it own in the demo bed full of big flowering plants from the other land masses of Gondwanaland.
