The bright orange flowers of the Gooseberryleaf Globemallow, also called Currant-leaf Desert Mallow (
Sphaeralcea grossulariifolia) distracted me when I was out running and later when I was out driving in late April. This beautiful member of the Mallow Family (Malvaceae) blooms from April through August.
The leaves of this globemallow are deeply dissected.
Gooseberryleaf Globemallow grows along roads and disturbed areas. It is a native perennial, and because it is able to grow in such harsh conditions is often used in seeding mixes after wildfires. It also grows very well in my native flower garden and is a good plant to use for xeriscaping.
