Common Marsh mallow
Native of Holland. This is also called “Marshmallow”. Marshmallow thrives in rich and moist soil, such as the sides of ditches and rugged areas, such as along the IJsselmeer. The flowers are edible, for example in salads. The herbaceous perennial plant grows quite tall, so trim or tie up in time. Beautiful white / soft pink flowers (hence Marshmallow) on stately stems. Very attractive to bees and other insects.
