Confection or a plant (11)

I believe the answer is:

marshmallow

(Other definitions for marshmallow that I've seen before include "Spongy confection - wild flower" , "Soft sweet" , "Sweet - pink-flowering plant" , "Confection commonly toasted" , "Spongy jellylike sweet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
