Malope trifida is a nice large annual for filling in spaces. It blooms all summer long if started early indoors. It also self-sows.

A member of the mallow family this annual is one of the nicest. The 2 1/2-inch, rose-violet flowers are cup shaped and in the center where the petals narrow there is a cutout of a 5-pointed star showing the green of the calyx behind. The plants are easily grown from seed and will quickly reach their mature height of 3 feet. The rose violet flowers are excellent for cutting and will last several days in a vase.
