Malva sylvestris 'Mystic Merlin' Magic Mallow 'Mystic Merlin'

Tall sturdy spikes loaded with silky saucer-shaped flowers in a rich, mesmerising shade of deep violet-purple, intricately veined with darker maroon — true to its name, the colour is quite magical, shifting between deep indigo-purple and rich magenta depending on temperature and soil. 'Mystic Merlin' is the cottage garden's most dramatic dark-Malva, providing Hollyhock-style architectural drama in a more manageable perennial form.

If you love the height and drama of Hollyhocks but struggle with their rust problems, Malva sylvestris 'Mystic Merlin' is the perfect alternative. This stunning variety produces tall (1.2–1.5m) sturdy spikes loaded with silky saucer-shaped flowers in a mesmerising deep violet-purple, intricately veined with darker maroon. The colour has genuine character — it shifts subtly between deep indigo-purple and richer magenta tones depending on temperature, soil chemistry and time of day, giving the plant a different appearance under different conditions. The plant forms a substantial shrubby mound that flowers tirelessly from early summer through autumn, providing a dramatic dark backdrop that makes brighter neighbours appear to glow. Short-lived hardy perennial (H5) — typically lives 3–4 years, gaining size and drama each season. RHS Plants for Pollinators recognised. The flowers and young leaves are 100% edible.

A note on growing

Malvas are robust and easy from seed. Sow indoors February–May or direct outdoors May. Surface-sow onto moist compost and cover with a light dusting of vermiculite. Maintain 15–20°C; germination 14–21 days. Transplant carefully. Plant in full sun or partial shade — 'Mystic Merlin' is unfussy about soil type, thriving in everything from heavy clay to dry sandy ground, provided drainage is reasonable. Its impressive height makes it ideal for the back of borders or against sunny walls.

The mid-summer chop: if the plant becomes straggly after its first flush, shear stems back by half. Water in well; a fresh flush follows for autumn display. This is the most important maintenance practice for Malvas — without it, plants become woody and less floriferous as the season progresses.

Self-seeds prolifically — once you have 'Mystic Merlin', a permanent colony of mystical purple blooms tends to follow indefinitely.

Where it shines

At the back of cottage borders as architectural vertical drama — 'Mystic Merlin' provides Hollyhock-style impact without the susceptibility to rust that plagues actual Hollyhocks. As a complementary planting partner for warm yellow and orange perennials — purple and orange are classic complementary colours, and 'Mystic Merlin' against Rudbeckia or Calendula 'Touch of Red' creates a "colour clash" border that genuinely glows in late summer. In wildlife gardens, where the open saucer flowers are exceptional bumblebee plants. Against sunny walls and fences where the structural form provides architectural cottage character.

Plant alongside

For high-impact late-summer colour clash, pair 'Mystic Merlin' with Rudbeckia or Calendula 'Touch of Red' for the purple-and-orange complementary combination that defines designer cottage borders. For an all-Malva three-tone scheme, combine with Malva moschata 'Alba' (refined white) and Malva 'Zebrina' (soft lilac-pink with veining). With Echinops ritro 'Veitch's Blue' for blue-and-purple architectural drama.

light use pads
Size: 475 Count
Pads are great but very thin. Fine for very light use but prefer pads a bit thicker. They do wipe well and are easy on the skin and would function fine for light chores. I like that they come in a case for storage.

Very good pads.
Size: 475 Count
I use these cotton pads to clean my guns after returning from my gun club. Obviously that isn’t what most people use them for but they are well made and sturdy.

Perfect to use take off makeup, or put products on your face.
Size: 500 Count
This has a thin side and thicker side. Very soft for putting product on or taking it off. Great value for my money. These are made of great quality, they are easy to use for the functionality they were made for.

Check size and thickness before ordering
Size: 500 Count
They are extremely small and thin. The single sheet is transparent and a few drops of toner almost dissolves the pad. It would take at least a dozen of the "thick" pads to completely remove makeup. The plastic box arrived crushed and several pieces of plastic with very sharp edges fell on my carpet and had to be searched for to prevent cuts on feet and paws. Very disappointed and would not recommend

Mixed Feelings
Size: 475 Count, Size: 475 Count
I have mixed feelings about this. They’re very thin and feel a little more rough than a round cotton pad. I’m not sure if I’ll buy again, because of the texture. Also because they are so thin, if you use a water based makeup remover it doesn’t absorb much and gets all over your hand. I might just continue to buy round cotton pads because they feel softer on my skin for removing makeup.
