Lavatera

Pretty lavatera adds a romantic note to the garden. Looking almost like a mini hollyhock, lavatera sports an abundance of blooms in jewel-tone shades. A mature plant is a sight to behold in the garden, one of those plants visitors will immediately gravitate toward and admire.

Garden Plans

Large Summer Sunny Border

Plant It With

Spider Flower

Add a bit of drama to the garden with big lavatera and wild-looking spider flower. Both are great, low-care bets for season-long color.

Dahlia

Big, bold dahlias are a perfect fit for growing with lavatera. Plus, you can use them together for beautiful bouquets.

Moonflower

Lavatera has big, hibiscus-like flowers that open in the daytime, so they're a great pick for planting with datura, which has trumpet-shape flowers that open at night.
