About: The lovely marshmallow can be direct seeded after frost, or started 4 weeks early indoors. It's name comes from the Greek word "althainein" meaning "to heal". Marshmallow is a gently healing plant with demulcent properties that sooth inflammation, traditionally used for digestive upset, coughs, and skin irritations (as tea, salve, oil, cough syrup and more). The roots, leaves and flowers are all traditionally used medicinally. Marshmallow is also a wonderful pollinator plant.
Organically grown here at Swallowtail Farmstead.
