I have Malva Zebrina growing for the second year from a scattered seed packet. The beetles love it as much as I do. One thing very important to do....if growing in a patch, keep the plants thinned out for air circulation to ward off mildew.
Ok Cindy - will be sure to do that and thanks for the tip!

"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
