Growing Tips & Guides
Country Mallow (Sida cordifolia), also known as Flannel Weed or Bala, is a resilient flowering herb native to tropical and subtropical regions. Growing up to 2–4 feet tall, this versatile plant produces soft, heart-shaped leaves and bright yellow-orange flowers that bloom throughout the warm season.
Adaptable and drought-tolerant once established, Country Mallow thrives in poor soils and full sun with minimal care. It's suitable for wildflower meadows, xeriscapes, and low-maintenance garden designs. The seed heads attract small birds, and the plant’s soft foliage adds texture to landscape borders or mixed plantings.
Perfect for gardeners seeking an easy-going wildflower with rustic charm and ornamental value.
