Lavatera
purisima
|
| Lavatera purisima is a
cultivar of the Channel Island's Lavatera
assurgentifolia and Lavatera venosa from off Baja. The Tree
Mallow will readily grow to 8 feet tall and 10 feet or more in
width. It tends to be rather weak stemmed and will flop rather than
grow much taller. Our plants
have not been touched by temperatures that dipped into the low 20's.
Lavatera purisima just kept blooming straight through the whole
season. Plants will grow in light shade to full sun. Lavatera
purisima is a nectar source for the Painted
Lady Butterfly and is a great addition to the butterfly
garden.

Lavatera purisima are available.
