Lavatera Beauty

Lavatera «Beauty» is a cold-hardy perennial plant reaching up to 100 cm in height, attracting attention with bright funnel-shaped flowers up to 10 cm in diameter. The blooms feature a rich pink hue with dark red veins and open petals, creating an impressive decorative carpet on the tops of bushes. The plant begins flowering in July and continues throughout the season from July to October, providing a long blooming period.

«Beauty» is distinguished by strong branching and compact growth: height reaches 60–100 cm, while width is about 35–40 cm. This makes it ideal for planting along fences, in flower beds as a focal plant, or in mixed borders where it creates a bright accent. Lavatera is also well-suited for cutting: inflorescences retain their decorative quality for up to 7 days after cutting.

Care for the plant is simple and does not require special conditions. Sowing seeds is done in open ground in May, with a sowing depth of 0.5–1 cm. Two weeks after germination, seedlings are transplanted at a spacing of 35×40 cm. The plant prefers sunny locations but can also grow in partial shade; soil is not demanding. After the first leaves appear, the plant is fed with a complex mineral fertilizer 3–4 weeks after germination. During dry periods, regular watering is necessary to maintain root system health.

Thus, Lavatera «Beauty» is a compact, flowering, and easy-to-care-for plant that adds brightness to any garden or landscape thanks to its large pink inflorescences and long blooming period.
