The vibrant deep pink colour is shown through the plants flowering and, when fully established, it will guarantee your garden to have a vast array of colour and an eye-catching, stylish piece due to the simple veining throughout the leaves. Lavatera should be planted in moist, well-drained soil and kept in full sun at the best of times. The watering process should be carried out regularly, especially in its first few weeks as it establishes itself and during the plants growing season.
