A true native species found only in the Willamette Valley of the PNW. A large perennial that prefers meadow-like conditions that are mostly (or very) sunny. This Sidalcea forms large clumps of tall, delicate hollyhock-like blooms that are blush-pink to white May-July. The foliage has narrow fine lobes . It is extremely drought tolerant and can endure our heavy clay soils that dry out entirely in the summer (though, like most plants, it likes well-drained soil as well).

We love its elegance and really do recommend putting it in a meadow as it seeds itself freely in our dry gardens. If in the PNW consider other white oak woodland friends like wild roses (Rosa sp.), Oregon iris (Iris tenax), lupine (Lupinus sp.), shooting stars (Dodecatheon sp.), and native bunch grasses.

 Mature size: 4-6 ft tall when in bloom, 2-4 ft wide clumps

 Minimum temperature: -25° F

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
