The Lavatera Barnsley Baby I received in very good condition and planted doesn’t really match the description; it’s a rather bright pink (not white at all...), it was the changing character that had attracted me, such a shame...

Planting and care

Plant Lavatera 'Barnsley Baby' preferably in spring in cold regions, so that it is well rooted before its first winter. In a mild oceanic or Mediterranean climate, September and October are also suitable. This lavatera requires a sunny position, sheltered from strong winds, and well-drained soil. It tolerates ordinary, poor, stony or chalky soils, but is shorter-lived in heavy soil that remains wet in winter. Regular watering is necessary during the establishment period; once rooted, it tolerates moderate summer drought. Fertiliser applications are unnecessary in open ground.  Like other shrubby lavateras, this variety often lives for four to five years; cuttings of young stems taken in May or June make it easy to renew.
