March through October is the bloom time of the globemallow [Sphaeralcea spp]. The plant's woody, grayish-green stems grow 1 - 5 feet [30.48 centimeters - 1.524 meters] high. The grayish-green leaves contrast with the orange red or pinkish cup-shaped flowers. They're common to North America's driest regions. So they're a good choice as a drought-tolerant plant.
