Malva is related to hollyhocks which was a successful venture for me. Rather my first ever success with seeds. I think it will behave the same way or worst die after flowering the first year.

@ Izhar and Umar Sahab.....Thanks....i already did fertilize....i will keep that in mind for future.

Saving your own seeds and then growing them is so much fun especially because as Sir Arif mentioned...you have lots of them :P

Calendula

Tomatoes
Image

Mesembryanthemum

Gaillardia....I think it has very understated status.....Hot summer hardy, cold hardy ..long blooming season and pest free....
