{"product_id":"marshmallow","title":"Marshmallow","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarshmallow is an attractive perennial native to damp soils of Europe, Western Asia, and Northern Africa. Its grey-tinged, velvety leaves are edible as a potherb or dried for tea, and its mucilaginous roots are used in healing for irritable intestines, throat, or lungs. As slippery elm is endangered, this plant is a good kitchen garden substitute. This is the plant whose early Egyptian confections later inspired the marshmallow treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination rate: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 74%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (total viability: 95%) on 10\/29\/2025 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e(\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/trueloveseeds.sbs\/pages\/faq\/#seedviability\" title=\"What is the difference between germination rate and total viability?\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eread more about viability\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \/ harvesting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn early spring, scarify with sandpaper and sow on the surface of the soil, just barely covered. Keep moist and warm. Some people recommend first giving your marshmallow seeds 3-4 weeks of cold stratification: place them in moist soil in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. When transplanting, space the plants two feet apart in full or partial sun.
