wow - there are so many kinds of mallows, all around the country. I grow three different ones here in zone 9.
The best thing for you to do is go to:
www.davesgarden.com use the search and browse function at the top of the page, and then click on plant files. Dave has many types of mallows with pictures and care. If you do not find what you are exactly looking for let me know @ grandpawalts@yahoo.com. We have an extensive data base of sites like Dav es Plants. I must warn you though, once you get looking around in his site you may stay there for hours.

We need to know what part of the country you live in to know what kind of mallow you have. For instance, in the mid and northern sections of the US, the standard is commonly called Rose-of-Sharon, botanical name Hibiscus syriacus. Not to be confused with the greenhouse/tropical Hibiscus that grows carefree in Florida and similar climates. Either way, Hibiscus and relatives require virtually no care. If it's the northern type, which is vase-shaped, I strongly recommend not pruning it unless you really know what you are doing. Many a hibiscus have suffered the irreversible effects of a bad haircut.

Not too difficult, but does not like overly dry conditions.
