**Scientific Name:** *Malope trifida* **Family:** Malvaceae Native to Spain and North Africa, *Malope trifida* is a warm-loving, sun-loving plant that thrives in well-drained soils. It prefers sandy loam but can adapt to various soil types as long as drainage is good. This herbaceous plant typically grows to about 70 cm in height, with many branches. The leaves are alternate, serrated, and the flowers appear singly in the leaf axils. Each flower has five petals, which are red or purple at the base, and they bloom from May to June. Propagation is usually done through seeds. Sowing in early September results in flowering the following May, while spring sowing leads to later blooms. During the growing season, pruning branches encourages more branching and flowering. It is commonly used in flower beds, garden borders, or as a potted plant. When planting *Malope trifida*, choose a loose, slightly acidic sandy loam for best growth. For container gardening, use clay pots with good drainage, and ensure they are deep and spacious. If using plastic pots, place a layer of hard foam at the bottom to improve aeration and drainage. Watering should be frequent to keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering. This plant is heavy feeder, so it benefits from a base fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium. Apply a balanced nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizer every two weeks, but avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can lead to leggy growth and fewer flowers. *Malope trifida* thrives in full sun and requires good air circulation. While it can tolerate partial shade, plants grown in low light tend to become tall and leggy with fewer flowers. It is a warm-season plant, growing actively from May to October. In winter, it can be kept indoors above 20°C for continued flowering. In southern regions, it can survive outdoors during winter, with the stems dying back and the roots remaining alive to regrow in spring. In colder areas, the pots should be moved indoors for protection. When growing *Malope trifida* from seed, once the seedlings reach about 10 cm, transplant them into pots with a diameter of 20–30 cm. Top the plants to encourage bushy growth and create a compact, rounded shape, which promotes more flowers and a more attractive appearance. Propagation can be done through cuttings or seeds. For cuttings, take new shoots that grow from the old roots in spring when they are over 10 cm long. Cut the shoots and root them. Alternatively, sow seeds in early October, allowing the seedlings to grow through the winter before transplanting in spring. Seeds can also be sown in late February or March, and once the seedlings reach 10 cm, they can be planted out. Autumn-sown plants usually flower in May, while spring-sown ones flower in June.
