Sphaeralcea moorei | Moore’s Globemallow | 10 Seeds

Description: Sphaeralcea moorei, commonly known as Moore’s globemallow, is a rare perennial herbaceous plant native to the desert regions of the southwestern United States. This low-growing plant typically reaches about 1-2 feet in height and features deeply lobed, gray-green leaves covered with soft hairs that give them a slightly fuzzy texture. Blooming primarily in spring, Sphaeralcea moorei produces striking, cup-shaped flowers that are vivid pink to lavender, creating a lovely contrast against its silvery foliage. The flowers are arranged in clusters along upright stems, attracting various pollinators, especially bees and butterflies, which are drawn to the vibrant color. Thriving in full sun and well-draining, rocky, or sandy soils, Sphaeralcea moorei is well-adapted to the arid desert climate and demonstrates excellent drought tolerance once established. Its compact size, unique color, and resilience make it a valuable choice for xeriscaping and desert-themed gardens. Zones 5-8 Germination To germinate Sphaeralcea moorei seeds, it is important to replicate the plant's natural desert conditions. Begin by scarifying the seeds, as they have a hard outer coating that can impede germination. Lightly rub the seeds with sandpaper or nick them with a knife to break the seed coat. After scarification, soak the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to further soften them. Prepare a well-draining soil mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, to mimic the plant's native rocky, sandy soils. Sow the seeds just below the surface of the soil and lightly press them to ensure contact. Place the seed tray or container in a warm, sunny location, with temperatures around 70-85°F (21-29°C), which is optimal for germination. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, as excessive moisture can lead to seed rot. Germination typically takes 2-4 weeks. Once the seedlings are large enough, they can be transplanted into individual pots or directly into a garden with full sun and well-draining soil. Once established, Sphaeralcea moorei requires minimal water, as it is highly drought-tolerant and well-suited for xeriscaping.
