    Have got 2 marshmallow plants and dont really know how to deal with them can anyone help? They have very long tap roots and when I first planted it part of the root was showing and it didnt seem to like this so I replanted it deeper and it has made some top growth now so presume its ok and likes a sunny place? anyone know how to propogate it?

    oh Hornbeam, I always thought I grew marshmallow - or rather it graced me with its presance, for i never planted it.

    But after seeing your pic, I am now beginning to wonder.

    The mallows usually seen are the common mallow, tree mallow and the musk mallow
