Description

Collection of two Lavateras that blend together harmoniously.

Lavateras are semi-evergreen shrubs, and by the seaside they will keep their vegetation during most of the winter. With rapid growth, they quickly reach a width of 1m (3ft) and can be used as an informal hedge.

Planting and care

Plant Lavateras in a sunny spot with rich and moist soil. Don't hesitate to cut their flowers to make bouquets: pruning stimulates growth and makes the plants stronger. At the beginning of winter, cut them back to 50 cm (20in) above the first buds, and if the winter is very cold, mulch your plants. You can also give them a shaping prune in spring. These plants have a lifespan of 5 to 6 years. In large flower beds, renew one plant out of three each year. Lavatera can easily be propagated by taking cuttings.
