Alba moschata seeds grow classic and summer-hardy malvas that promise to bring the wild European meadows to your summer garden. White Musk Mallow malva is easy to grow from seed and a vigorous full sun performer from spring to fall, yet still elegant enough to complement any fresh cut arrangement. Alba moschata seeds grow durable 24 – 36” tall malva shrubs bursting with lovely 2” blooms in pristine white petals perfect for accenting walkways, fences, or garden beds. Alba malva seeds thrive in a variety of climates around the world and do so because of their tolerance to heat, drought, as well as chill. 1000 seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--split--\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Alba Malva Moschata Garden Seeds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaxonomy:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eMalva moschata f. alba\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e Musk Mallow, White Musk Mallow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual (Biennial in zones 7 - 8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSow Indoors or Outdoors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alba malva seeds can be directly sown after the frost, but for earliest blooms, begin indoors 10 – 12 weeks before final frost date.
