Description
Annual Lavatera trimestris Silver Cup forms adorable bushes that are covered for a long period with large, round, satiny, delicate dark pink flowers veined with carmine. This easy-to-grow variety withstands wind and bad weather well. It is a beautiful addition to borders, perennial or annual flower beds, and flowering pots. Sow it under shelter or directly in moist, well-drained soil in the sun. It is ideal for novice gardeners.
Lavatera trimestris is a slightly hardy annual native to the Mediterranean region. It is related to wood mallows (Malva sylvestris) or marshmallows (Althea officinalis), belonging to the same malvaceae family. The Silver Cup variety was selected for its resistance to bad weather and its branching habit. It quickly forms a lovely, vibrant green bush that reaches 50 cm (20in) high and 35 cm (14in) wide, without needing staking. The basal leaves are almost round, while those covering the stems have palmate lobes, resembling maple leaves. It flowers from July to September (earlier in hot climates). The flowers are a satiny dark pink, veined with carmine and of a good size (10 cm (4in) in diameter), solitary in the axils of the leaves. They are short-lived, but continually renew on the plant, especially if you regularly remove faded flowers. The large seeds contained in their black, ripe capsules are easy to sow.
Annual lavateras are essential in "cottage gardens," but varieties with vibrant colours fit well in mixed borders and annual flower beds alongside love-in-a-mist, cosmos, or perennials such as flax, asters, or gauras. A single packet of Lavatera trimestris seeds can decorate many flower beds or form small, flowering hedges, with very fresh colors. Large-flowered lavateras are also good cut flowers. Small varieties like Silver Cup are very pretty in pots, mixed with sweet peas or snapdragons.

Planting and care
Annual mallows are sown in spring, directly in the ground when temperatures warm up (germination occurs at 15°C (59°F)). Light promotes seed germination. You can also sow them under cover in March and transplant the young plants outside from May, once the last frosts have passed. When the young plants reach about 20 cm (8in) high, you can pinch the main stems to encourage branching. Leave at least 40 cm (16in) between each plant.
Choose a well-exposed location to grow them, in the sun, with ordinary but well-drained soil. Soil that is too rich will favour leaf growth at the expense of flowering.
For beautiful flowers the soil should remain moist, even humid, but without stagnant water. You can mulch around the plants and water from time to time, especially in hot and dry summer weather.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
