Marshmallow Seeds
Minimum Seed Count: 50
Marshmallow is a beautiful, multi-purpose perennial herb prized for its soft, velvety leaves, pale pink to light lavender flowers, and rich history of use. Growing 3–5 feet tall, it produces delicate hibiscus-like blooms that attract pollinators while adding classic cottage-garden charm.
Traditionally, the roots of the marshmallow plant were used to create the original marshmallow confections, giving this plant its name. The natural mucilage found in the roots can still be used today in making traditional marshmallows and sweet candies, as well as soothing herbal teas and remedies. Both ornamental and functional!
