Common Questions
What should I plant with lavatera?
Dahlias, lavender, coneflower, rudbeckia, sedum and cleome all make good companions for lavatera plants.
Do lavatera plants attract pollinators?
Yes, the showy flowers are particularly attractive to bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.
Can I grow it in a container?
Yes, these plants can be grown in containers but may need cut back more often to control the fast growth. It will also require more water and be sure your container is large enough that you will not need to transplant later.
Do I need to prune my plants?
Yes, an annual pruning is needed for best flowering. In the spring after your last frost but before any new growth emerges, cut out all dead, damaged or woody stems at the base. Only leave stems where you can see new growth starting to emerge or the stem is swollen indicating new growth is about to emerge. Cut these stems above the new growth about 12 inches above ground level. If you are unsure if your stem is dead, bend it. If it snaps easily, it is dead.
Do I need to fertilizer my plants?
One feeding in the spring with a slow-release complete fertilizer is all you need.
