The marsh mallow is a medicinal plant used since antiquity with mainly expectorant effect. It is still used today in cough medications and teas. Both the roots and the leaves and flowers are used.

Over the centuries, the plant has collected many names, most of which refer to its healing properties, but it is also known simply as 'white mallow' because it indeed belong to the malvaceae. Leaves, flowers and the entire stately appearance make this family affiliation very clear. It can be grown perfectly well as a purely ornamental plant, it is suitable as a potted plant, for herb and flower beds and is a great melliferous plant for bees.
All parts of the plant are edible - and in fact its name is not a false friend: in former times the famous flame-roasted marshmallows were made from this swamp plant, which likes to live in humid and even salty locations.
