Description
Sidalcea oregana 'Brilliant' is a perennial plant related to hollyhocks which is rarely found in our gardens. It is time to discover this lovely mixed-border plant that also resembles hollyhocks but is smaller and prefers moist soils. It has many small silky-looking, open-cup, bright carmine pink flowers along thin but sturdy stems in summer. These floral spikes dominate a clump of velvety and shiny green basal leaves. Like Delphiniums and tall Phlox, this meadow plant prefers consistently moist but well-drained soils and a sunny exposure.
Sidalcea oregana Brilliant belongs to the Malvaceae family like mallow and marshmallow. It comes from a botanical species named Sidalcea oregana, native to the western part of North America, from Utah to California and British Columbia. Its natural habitat consists of wet environments like marshes and meadows.
The 'Brilliant' variety is a particularly colourful selection. It is a herbaceous perennial plant with a woody taproot, growing in an upright clump that reaches 60 to 70 cm (24 to 28in) high and 35 cm (14in) wide. It blooms in July-August, with hairy, slender but sturdy and unbranched spikes, carrying numerous small flowers that are 4 cm (2in) wide and have 5 fringed petals, which look and feel like satin. The red buds open into flowers which are very vibrant red-pink, or carmine pink veined with red, around a lighter throat with a cluster of white stamens. The basal foliage is composed of round, toothed, and slightly dissected, beautiful shiny dark green leaves.
Place this beautiful cousin of mallows in the middle of flower beds, in a country garden or an English-style garden, with Japanese anemones, paniculate Phlox, annual poppies, and perennial Delphiniums to create an elegant scene. It also thrives in a moist rockery, with columbines and lady's mantles; you can create adorable bouquets with its cut flowers and it also grows well in pots.

Planting and care
Sidalcea oregana Brilliant likes the sun but not overly hot or dry situations. It prefers good garden soil, loamy or sandy, moist and without limestone, neutral to acidic. This perennial dislikes drought and waterlogged soil; protect it with a good mulch of dry ferns or straw during snowless freezing periods. It is easy to grow in a cool, oceanic climate, where winters are not too harsh and summers are cool. Cut back the stems once flowering is finished to prevent seed formation 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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
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 planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
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.
