Lovely recovery of this plant which seems easy to grow. Also has a nice presence, even though the flower colours are less vibrant than shown in the photo on its profile.

Description
Sidalcea Candy Girl is a tall variety with deep pink flowers and prominent stamens. This deciduous perennial cousin of mallows is not commonly used in our gardens. It blooms like a miniature hollyhock, with flared cups on the upper part of the stems. It is a delicate plant, perfect plant for English gardens and romantic or cottage garden beds. Its light, fresh flowers form a tangle along upright stems, above shiny green basal leaves. Plant it in moist and well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade.
Sidalcea 'Candy Girl' belongs to the mallow family, like hollyhocks and marshmallows. Its ancestors lived in meadows and clearings in the Northwest of America. It is a short-lived herbaceous perennial that reaches maturity in 2 to 5 years. It ensures its perpetuity through numerous spontaneous seedlings. Candy Girl, reaches 60 to 90 cm (24 to 35in) high at maturity and 50 to 70 cm (20 to 28in) wide. It blooms between July and September with sturdy, unbranched spikes, bearing numerous small, deep pink 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in) wide flowers, resembling hollyhocks, with 5 fringed, silky, veined petals. The tuft of basal foliage consists of large, toothed, kidney-shaped, dissected leaves, the stem leaves are smaller and narrower. The foliage is all deciduous and beautiful bright green.
Place adorable, hardy Sidalcea Candy Girl in the middle of flower beds, with Paniculate Phlox, Poppies and Perennial Delphiniums to create an elegant scene. This lovely plant also thrives in a moist rock garden, with Perennial Geraniums, Mulleins and Lady's Mantles. You can create refined summer bouquets with cut flowers.

Planting and care
Sidalcea Candy Girl enjoys the sun, but avoid excessively hot or dry situations. Place it in good garden soil, preferably loamy or sandy, which remains moist and doesn't have too much limestone. This perennial hates waterlogged soil in winter. Protect it with a good mulch of dry ferns or straw during dry, freezing periods. Cut back the flowering stems once faded to prevent self-seeding and promote new flowers.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
