The ‘Marshmallow’ series of Lavatera boasts masses of brilliant and colourful blooms. Also known as a Tree Mallow, the compact and well-branched ‘Marshmallow Strawberry Cream’ bursts to life through summer and into autumn. Impressive blooms emerge in soft pink, only brightening towards the centre, with a bright eye. Lavatera are hardy and easy to grow, forming good-sized shrubs with headline trumpet flowers. The blooms are rich in nectar, so will attract pollinators. Do not fret when leaves drop across winter as the plant falls dormant, as new growth will emerge in the following March. Plant throughout the sunny beds and borders of your garden, including in patio pots or containers. Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting.
