Field Notes

Description:

Scarlet Mallow has lovely orange-red flowers and slightly fuzzy gray green leaves. Six to eight inches high, this native prairie wildflower can grow as a mat of stems, leaves and flowers in disturbed ground — or, on the open prairie, Scarlet Mallow will grow as smaller, separated plants.

Habitat:

Shortgrass Prairie
