The introduced Vervain Mallow has reportedly naturalized in Kane County of NE Illinois (see Distribution Map). However, some naturalized populations of Malva moschata (Musk Mallow) within the state may be Vervain Mallow instead, as these two similar species are often confused with each other. Vervain Mallow was introduced into North America from Eurasia as an ornamental garden plant. It is still cultivated in gardens, from where it rarely escapes. Habitats of naturalized populations consist of roadsides and waste areas where there is a history of disturbance.

It is said to be introduced in Baluchistan at Kalat and Nasirabad (teste Burkill 1909, Stewart 1972). I have not seen any specimen of this species from Pakistan.

Comments: Accepted for North America by Kartesz (1994) but not by Kartesz (1999), who considers it an erroneous report; reported only from Ontario, where it was considered a rare exotic (Ontario CDC, 1995).

According to Müller (1873/1883) in Germany, the flowers of Vervain Mallow are visited primarily by honeybees, Andrenid bees, and other bees. He also reported bee flies (Bombyliidae) and skippers as floral visitors. These insects obtained primarily nectar from the flowers. Some insects feed destructively on the foliage and other parts of Vervain Mallow and other Malva spp. (mallows). These insect feeders include Aphis gossypii (Cotton Aphid) and the caterpillars of the following butterflies, skippers, and moths
