Description
Lavatera 'White Angel' is a variety of Tree Mallow that offers, throughout the summer, a profusion of white flowers, slightly tinged with pale pink in the centre. They are carried by large downy stems adorned with a beautiful medium green lobed foliage. It is a plant of impressive stature that quickly reaches a height of 1.5 metres (5 feet). Very bright, it makes an excellent background plant and can also be planted as a standalone specimen.
Lavateras belong to the large family of Malvaceae. It is a genus that includes numerous species, some more woody than others and these can be annuals, biennials, or perennials. They originate from various temperate regions of the globe but are mainly found in Mediterranean climates. The variety 'White Angel' bears flowers measuring 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3in) in diameter, composed of five petals that are quite spaced apart and strongly bilobed. These are beautiful white slightly tinged with pink in the centre. These flowers are ephemeral but they constantly renew themselves from July to August. Its habit is spreading and quickly reaches a height of 1.5 metres (5 feet) and a width of 1.2 metres (4 feet).
It is a sun-loving plant that tolerates any soil, even ordinary, dry, and well-drained soil. It tolerates drought without any problems, but in gardens exposed to strong winds, it requires good staking. Its maintenance is very simple and consists only of cutting back its stems, at the beginning of winter, to a height of 50 cm (20in). The 'White Angel' Lavatera is quite hardy but it is advisable to protect it with a good layer of dead leaves in regions with very harsh winters. It withstands salt spray well and can therefore be planted by the seaside. In the garden, its vigorous growth allows it to be planted as a standalone specimen, for example to mark an entrance. It also forms magnificent backgrounds for flower beds and goes very well with roses. You can easily associate it with perennial sages, Yarrows or even with its relatives the hollyhocks and the common mallow.

Planting and care
Plant Lavateras in full sun or partial shade in rich and moist but well-drained soil. Protect them from cold and drying winds in colder regions. Feel free to cut the flowers and make bouquets as pruning stimulates growth and makes the plants stronger. At the start of winter, trim 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 pruning in spring. These plants have a lifespan of 5 to 6 years. In large flower beds, replace one out of three plants each year. Lavateras can be easily propagated by cuttings. Every year, as soon as the buds swell in March, leave only two or three buds at the base of the new shoots, to create a sturdy framework. Remove excess or misplaced old wood. Lavateras can be prone to rust, root rot, and fungal infections from heavy soil.

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.
