Marshmallow Seeds – Heirloom Culinary & Medicinal Herb, Perennial, Pollinator-Friendly (Althaea officinalis) | 50 Seeds

These heirloom marshmallow seeds grow the very plant whose roots were used by ancient Egyptians and French to create the first marshmallow confections. The perennial reaches 3–5 feet tall with soft, velvety leaves and pale pink hibiscus-like flowers that attract pollinators, while the roots have been valued in traditional herbalism for their soothing properties. Roots are best harvested in fall of the second year, and seeds thrive in zones 3–9 with full sun to partial shade.
