Sphaeralcea ‘Newleaze Coral’, commonly known as desert mallow, is a resilient perennial prized for its vivid color, drought tolerance, and adaptability in challenging garden conditions. This plant is native to North America, particularly the arid and semi-arid regions of the western United States and Mexico. ‘Newleaze Coral’ is a cultivated selection developed for improved garden performance and compact form, typically growing 24–36 inches tall and wide with softly textured, gray-green, slightly fuzzy foliage. From late spring through summer, and often into early fall, the plant produces an abundance of cup-shaped flowers in warm, glowing shades of coral, apricot, and soft orange, creating a long-lasting and cheerful display. This plant thrives in full sun, requires excellent drainage, and prefers average soil, making it especially well-suited to dry climates and water-wise landscapes. Once established, it is highly drought-tolerant and should be watered sparingly, as overly rich soil or excessive moisture can reduce flowering and longevity. Sphaeralcea ‘Newleaze Coral’ is commonly used in borders, pollinator gardens, native plantings, rock gardens, and large containers, where its upright habit and vibrant blooms stand out. It is typically grown from starter plants, though seeds may also be used with variable results. Maintenance is minimal; make sure to cut plants back after flowering to encourage fresh growth, avoid heavy fertilization, and remove spent stems as needed. The plant is generally hardy in USDA Zones 5–9, depending on site conditions and drainage. An added benefit is its strong appeal to bees and butterflies, combined with excellent heat tolerance and deer resistance, making ‘Newleaze Coral’ a dependable, visually striking choice for sustainable, low-maintenance gardens.

    Not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but you seem to be knowledgable about the flowering plants.

    Most likely these two plants Lily of the valley and this flowering bonsai tree may share the same chemistry.

    Which fertilizer / condition do you recommend to bloom a flowering plant more? 

    Lily of the valley typically doesn’t need any fertilizer unless you have poor soil. If your soil lacks nutrients, you can add a slow-release granular fertilizer in the spring. For Bonsai plants, there is usually specific fertilizer for those plants.

    Wow, I never realized how rich and diverse the symbolism and mythology behind anemone flowers are! Their vibrant colors, cup-shaped blossoms, and unique central cluster make them truly captivating. It’s fascinating to learn about their association with love and protection against evil.Here is more information.

    Yes, they are beautiful flowers.  The link did not have anything to do with anemone flowers, so we did not include it.
