Globemallow
Globemallow Sphaeralcea coccinea This plant grows easily in Castle Valley and with a water source can become quite large. Bees love the plant; deer don’t. Not the least bit picky about its soil. Native to U.S., this plant has several stems and is sometimes found growing in clumps or even extensive colonies. Its flowers are orange-pink and resemble miniature hollyhocks. Globemallows are common plants on western ranges. It usually grows in sandy washes and rocky hillsides, sometimes among pinyon and juniper, below 4000 feet, from southern Utah, southwestern Colorado, and northeastern Arizona to western Texas and northern Mexico.
