Leaves and Flowers Edible

This is an unusual, low growing herbaceous plant. The white, or very pale pink, flowers have lilac veins and are found in clusters along the stems. The flowers arise singly along the stem in the axils of the leaf stalks. As an annual, dwarf mallow occurs on open ground, such as tracksides, gateways and gardens.

Dwarf mallow has very dark green, deeply veined and hairy leaves that have palmate lobes. A group of highly attractive stem-boring weevils (Apion spp.) are associated with mallows generally. Their colours vary from metallic green to grey and yellow.
