A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Landscape trials and triumphs I think these MALVA ARE INVASIVE..DO YOU?

This spot had berries in it and I remove them this spring.
Then I sprayed it with Roundup to kill all remainders......

This is the results of what happened.
Do you think Mlva[IMG]

is Invasive? I sure do.

i think it's beautiful.

Thanks Jiffy,

THey all came back themselves between the 2 Peony bushes..

Thanks again.

I like it too.

To answer your question.............YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I started out with 2 a few years ago, and now they pop up everywhere! Still pretty though! Some were taller than me, they got kind of scraggly, so I whacked them down! Who knows where they will turn up next?!?! Now if I could only get the 4'oclocks under control.........................

They are invasive by seed dropping. We have them too...everywhere. My grandmother always called them "Widow's flowers", apparently a long time ago it seems only the men cut grass so if a woman was widowed her lawn would just grow and these filled her yard.

I had some too They were sprouting up everywhere,, IF I had a lot of land I would just let them grow ,, I'm still pulling them - pretty as they are,, I need room for other flowers too

I leave a few grow in the edges of my cedar fencing. I just mow the rest. Ours are just a plain soft pink colour.

I had/have the Zebra purple striped,, If I could confine it I would grow it again,,
because I did like the blooms especially when it was full of blooms,, But to keep up with the seeds dropping is a whole other ball game .

Maybe pull them out before they deop??????

How?????

I let mine just take over in places, I'd rather have them than weeds
