Read about Sidalcea in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Sidalcea (compound of Sida and Alcea, related genera). Malvaceae. Some of the sidalceas are annuals, but those in cultivation are hardy perennials, being recommended for the herbaceous border.

Leaves palmately cleft or parted, stipular: fls. often showy, pink, purple, or white, in terminal racemes or spikes, mostly without bracts or involucels beneath; stamens united into groups in a double series: carpels 5-9, reniform, separating at maturity.—About 30 species, natives of W. N. Amer. For monograph, see Gray, Syn. Fl. N. Amer., vol. 1, p. 302. Of easy cult. Prop. by seeds or division.

The following are offered in the trade, but unknown botanically: S. mariana, Hort., growing 3 ft. high: fls. bright pink.—S. mexicana, Hort., a strong grower, 3 ft. high, with satiny rose fls. borne on wiry sts. CH
