Description
Marsh Mallow -
A. officinalis is a native, herbaceous perennial with softly hairy, grey-green leaves and stems. Flowers appear on tall flowering stems from mid-summer to early autumn.
The genus althaea is a Greek term that means “heal” or “stimulating the body’s own healing abilities”. The species name officinalis complements the genus, with the leaves, flowers and root of the plant being sold as herbal medicine under the name “Althaea officinalis” in pharmacies.
