Malva moschata, the musk mallow or musk-mallow,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae, native to Europe and southwestern Asia, from Spain north to the British Isles and Poland, and east to southern Russia and Turkey.

[2][3][4][5] Growing to 60 cm (24 in) tall, it is a herbaceous perennial with hairy stems and foliage, and pink saucer-shaped flowers in summer.

[4][5] It occurs on dry, but fertile soils at altitudes from sea level up to 1,500 m (4,900 ft).

[5] Malva moschata is widely grown as an ornamental plant for its attractive scented flowers, produced for a long period through the summer.

It has been introduced to and become naturalised in several areas with temperate climates away from its native range, including Scandinavia, New Zealand, and North America.
