One of the nicest things about using Mallow Marvels (See Hibiscus) for a hedge is that the plants grow rapidly and need little care. 



HELIOTROPE [tP-2 ft.] In the border the somber green 

 foliage and large clusters of dark blue to deep violet flowers 

 of this fragrant plant lend themselves to pleasing contrasts 

 with the more vivid leaves and blossoms of other plants. 

 It is a rapid grower and from seed started early in spring 

 will make fine flowering plants by early summer, while in a 

 warm climate it will continue to live and bloom all winter.

HEUCHERA (Coral Bells) [hP-R-12 in.] An American

HOLLYHOCK [hP] Almost every garden or door-yard has a 

 place for stately Hollyhocks. A tall group among shrubs

 effect for an artist to paint. The dignified stalks provided 

 with many large green leaves are richly adorned with 

 flowers near the top.
