Palmer's indian mallow is a semi-evergreen shrub notable for its dense, fast-growing nature, reaching 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 meters) both in height and width. It boasts soft, silvery, heart-shaped foliage with toothed edges that feel velvety to the touch. The plant flaunts slightly cupped flowers, gold to apricot in color, measuring about 1 inch (2.5 cm) across. These blooms are persistent nearly year-round, with a peak in spring and summer. The flowers give way to fuzzy sepals enclosing the developing fruit.
