Lavatera trimestris
'Pink Blush'

I’m not kidding when I say this will be your new favorite plant this year! Fast-growing to a non-dwarfed, well-branched 30”x30”, ‘Pink Blush’ eventually almost smothers its pretty mallow-like leaves with heart-melting, cherry-veined, cherry-eyed blooms to 4” across! Blooms its heart out for months, especially if you remove spent flowers. Make sure to provide rich, loamy soil for full enjoyment! Bees and butterflies and hummers! Great in a container (15+ gal), cut flowers and self-sows – yay! Grown from seed so color is slightly variable with the occasional all-white flowering plant cropping up.
