Planting and care

Lavatera ‘Blushing Bride’ is planted from March to May in most regions, or from September to October in climates with mild winters. It requires a sunny position sheltered from strong winds. An ordinary, light to moderately fertile, well-drained soil is sufficient, whether it is slightly acid, neutral or alkaline. Heavy soils that become waterlogged in winter encourage collar rot and shorten its lifespan. Regular watering is beneficial in the first year; once well established, the plant tolerates dry spells. Heavy fertiliser applications are unnecessary and produce softer stems. In cold regions, a dry mulch protects the base of the plant. Cuttings taken in early summer can be used to renew this lavatera, whose lifespan rarely exceeds a few years.
