Have you ever wondered why marshmallows got their name? In olden times, people used the root of this plant as a thickener for the candies we know today. And when times got tough, they would eat the marsh mallow root as a famine food and use it as a medicine. Today, we use this plant as an attractive perennial ornamental thanks to its lovely flowers. It's ideal for planting in damp or boggy areas because its natural habitat is you guessed it! Marshy!
