Plants produce dense racemes of soft lavender-pink colored malva like flowers, growing 3 to 6 feet tall. Plants blooms from June through August. They have five to seven lobed, cordate leaves. Seeds have a very hard coat and can remain viable in the soil for more than 50 years, seed germination is often triggered after a wildfire. Native to sunny mountain stream banks, meadows and open forest slopes from east of the Cascade Range, from British Columbia and Alberta east to Montana and south to Oregon and Colorado.
