Yep, they look kind of ratty, but those in sheltered spots have a few blooms left.

Thanks! Yes their blooming period lasted for months!! Much longer than my pink Malva. Flowers like this always make me think that someone took out a paintbrush and embelished with color.

Hi Charlieb, this plant is on my wish list and what a stunner it is. I bought a pot of Malva sylvestris 'Primley Blue' a couple of months ago but it has not flowered yet - I can't wait for next year.

Thanks Hw and Mw! Muddywalters, I started these indoors in March, and they bloomed in summer right through until this fall. You'll have to post photos of your 'Primley Blue' next summer.
