Lavatera Ruby Star

Description

A compact to medium-sized semi-evergreen shrub with a spreading growth habit. The Lavatera ‘Ruby Star’ is a variety of the popular Tree Mallow and a striking addition to Summer gardens. The dark grey-green, lobed foliage grows beneath cherry-red flowers with overlapping petals that give a subtle twisting or swirling effect. A beautiful cultivar suitable for container planting or for use as part of a border or bedding.

Plant in moist, fertile, well-drained soils and keep in full or partial sun. May require some protection in colder regions during the Winter. A sheltered position is advised in these areas as the plant may suffer some dieback from frosts and drying winds. The foliage will regrow the following Spring.
