I have been most focused on Hibiscus moscheutos, one of the rose mallows, because it grows wild here. But I’ve also been trying to add other Malvaceae to my garden. The mallow family seems like it deserves more promotion as a source of food crops.
This is where I’ve written about my work with native rose mallows: Rose mallow - hibiscus moscheutos - perennial flowers - okra and spinach too?
