As I was learning about the wonderful world of Checkermallows (Sidalcea spp.) I came across photos of S. malachroides. This is a beautiful plant - at least it appears to be very photogenic.

It's also most definitely a wildflower; I can't find any information that indicates its been cultivated. Is anyone familiar enough with it to provide the vital statistics? (Height, spacing, hardiness, light and water requirements, etc.)

And is it a protected species?

Any help would be most appreciated, including any links to information (my web searches just came up with photos and indications of where it's been spotted growing.)

Speaking of photos, here's a link to one. When you see it, I think you'll see why I was immediately captivated: http://www.pgmuseum.org/WildflowerTour/MLSidalcea.htm
