Other common names for this perennial herb include Desert Mallow or Desert Globe-Mallow. This woolly and shrub-like plant grows to 1 to 3 feet in height and width, and produces orange to salmon-colored flowers mostly in the spring. This species is among the most drought-tolerant of the globe-mallows, preferring full sun and very little water, with well-drained, rocky or sandy soils.
