Habitat: The Virginia Mallow likes its habitat unstable. Loose sandy or rocky soils of scoured riversides and floodplains, and disturbed areas along roadsides and railroad banks are its favorite places.
Wildlife value: The white summer–fall flowers supply nectar and pollen for a range of insect visitors (generalist pollinators). Provides vertical structure and cover on river margins that can shelter invertebrates and small vertebrates
Earth Sangha Inventory
Founded in 1997, the Earth Sangha is a nonprofit public charity based in the Washington, DC, region. The Wild Plant Nursery is the most comprehensive source of local-ecotype, native plants in the Washington DC region, and the region’s only facility dedicated exclusively to this type of propagation. “Local-ecotype” plants are propagated from local, wild, naturally-occurring populations and are well-adapted to local conditions and for wildlife species that depend on the local forms, such as pollinators. Inventory is updated on a weekly basis so number may not be accurate.
