Malope
From LoveToKnow Garden
Malope - M. grandiflora is one of the most showy of hardy annuals, and effective where a bold crimson flower is desired. It is 18 to 24 inches high, and the better the soil the finer will be its bloom. There is a white variety, M. g. alba. The variety M. g. rosea, white flushed with rose, is pretty and distinct. M. trifida is smaller in every part, but showy. These bold annuals are rarely used with good effect. If from any cause the beds or borders get worn out, it is worth while to try the effect of a crop of the best annuals. The Malopes, being vigorous plants, are, as a rule, best in groups. S. Europe.
