~ Iliamna remota, Kankakee Mallow

Iliamna remota

Kankakee Mallow

  • Moderately Wet to Average soils
  • Full sun to light shade
  • Up to 5’ tall, 24” to3 6” wide, can be a bit wider with sufficient moisture
  • Summer Blooms
  • Thrives on shorelines and in meadows or woodlands with sufficient moisture 

Historically native to a very limited area of what is currently the USA, this species adapts well to garden areas with sufficient moisture. They are long blooming, very showy and somewhat similar to their cousins, Hollyhocks.

As with Hollyhocks, they are vulnerable to rust fungi if they become stressed due to lack of soil moisture.

Prairie  Moon Nursery has some more information on them here

The Online Plant Nursery will re-open for orders on Tuesday, May 17th

Pickups will begin the following week.

I will be offering plug sized plants for $1.25 each or 5 for $5. 

I'm in the process of adding species that I expect to offer this spring to the listings since they are starting to germinate and I'm starting to get an idea of which will be available in abundant quantities.

Since the list is much longer this year I've added several categories to help narrow down your options based on a variety of criteria.

For those who have already adopted seedlings, planting instructions can be found here.
