African (or Cape) Mallows are beautiful, fast growing shrubs with an abundance of pink, hibiscus-like flowers which appear in summer and again in autumn - in fact they'll bloom all year if not exposed to freezing temperatures. Absolutely smothered in hundreds of medium-sized, strawberry-pink blooms on a standard bush. Easy to grow, upright and vigorous Anisodontea capensis is an erect perennial that comes from South Africa. It has straggly branches and small, dark green, hairy leaves. Because this plant produces sparse leaves, the flowers look quite striking with little foliage background.
