This is a great non-toxic cottage garden style plant for the deep south, basically no maintenance as I don't fertilize and only prune once a year at most to shape (it stays smaller than me in height). I'd say its spot is average to moist but it is on a slight slope so it floods during heavy storms which killed a Cassia. I grow it in west-facing part shade with three native plants(a really cute small evergreen St Johns wort called Hypericum hypericoides, Beautyberry, and Suwanee Blue-eyed grass). In my experience too much sun makes Malvaviscous droop and they bloom just as well in part shade.
Very long-blooming with shell pink flowers, basically everblooming until a freeze. The flowers are smaller and actually accessible to hummingbirds compared to the M. arboreus var mexicana (the one that faces downwards) so I get good fruit production too which the cardinals like.
I'm curious how the flowers look next to Pam Puryear's Pink as the photos look similar to me
