The Lesser Mallow is a small plant native to India, growing up to 2 feet tall. It has tiny, but beautiful flowers similar to Hibiscus. The flowers are only 1-1.5 inches wide and have five petals that overlap. In Marathi, it's called "Dupari" because the flowers open fully at noon. The seeds are fluffy and each pod produces about 12-15 seeds, which can grow into new plants. It’s easy to grow.
