Gooseberryleaf Globemallow (Sphaeralcea grossulariifolia) is a hardy perennial native to the Rocky Mountains and Great Basin, prized for its vibrant orange blossoms that bloom from spring through fall. This drought-tolerant wildflower thrives in well-drained, sandy, or rocky soils and is a magnet for native bees, making it an essential addition to pollinator-friendly gardens. Its silvery-green, lobed foliage adds texture and contrast, even when not in bloom. Gooseberryleaf Globemallow pairs well with other native perennials like Rocky Mountain Penstemon and Desert Four O’Clock, creating a colorful, low-maintenance display in xeriscapes, meadows, and naturalized landscapes.
