Sphaeralcea ambigua, commonly known as Desert Globemallow or Apricot Mallow, is a colorful perennial wildflower native to the deserts of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Growing approximately 2–4 feet tall and wide, it produces abundant orange to apricot, cup-shaped flowers above softly textured gray-green foliage, with its heaviest bloom typically occurring in spring. Extremely drought tolerant once established, Desert Globemallow thrives in full sun, well-draining soil, and low-water conditions, making it an excellent choice for xeriscapes, native gardens, pollinator plantings, and Southwest landscapes. Suitable for approximately USDA Zones 8–11, established plants can tolerate temperatures down to about 10–15°F and handle intense summer heat. The flowers attract native bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Sow seeds in fall or early spring in warm desert climates. Easy to grow from seed and beautifully adapted to dry conditions, Desert Globemallow adds long-lasting color with very little water—order seeds now and bring a true Southwest native to your garden.
