Plant Description and Details
Gooseberry-leaf Globemallow outdoes itself with a long-lasting exhibition of papery orange blooms, from spring well into the heat of summer. Adaptable to various soil textures, it prefers dry conditions, and doesn't thrive on consistently wet ground.Muted silvery-green, hairy leaves have a lacy texture, and the bottommost stem cluster keeps its leaves year-round. Try this cheerful, tough survivor in your driest, sunniest spot and watch it do its thing.
