Zebra mallow is a captivating perennial plant that is very attractive to butterflies. All parts of zebra mallow are edible. The leaves can be added to salads (though they don’t have much taste) and the edible flowers add whimsy to cocktails and baking.
Zebra mallows add plenty of height and visual interest to gardens and do well in planters.
