Description
90-120 days. Pure white open cups absolutely glow in the moonlight! Set against lovely dark foliage. The 7-10cm (3-4 in) flowers form on compact 60cm (2 ft) high plant for an ideal border show.
Sow indoors February-March. Germinates in 14-21 days at 21C (70F). They work best in peat pots to minimise root disturbance. Alternatively, direct-seed in April, cover lightly. Space plants 60cm (2 ft.) apart and remove spent blooms. Too rich a soil encourages a lot of lush leaf growth at the expense of flowers, so avoid fertilisers. Lavatera are generally trouble-free plants, but may get a bit of leaf spot, rust or mildew, usually resulting from improper watering (too much!) They also make very good cut flowers for indoor displays. Approx. 150 seeds/g.
Lavatera is named in honour of two Swiss brothers who were naturalists and physicians in Zurich. It originates from the Mediterranean regions.
