Lavatera trimestris Mont Blanc - Annual Mallow organic seeds

Organic Lavatera trimestris 'Mont Blanc', also known as Annual Mallow, is a floriferous plant native to Mediterranean regions. This variety is distinguished by its large, satin-white flowers, elegant and bright.

The 'Mont Blanc' Lavatera is a horticultural selection. The wild species, Lavatera trimestris, from the Malvaceae family, is native to the Mediterranean basin. Naturally growing in rocky areas and along the coast, it is appreciated for its large cup-shaped pink flowers and bushy habit. It has spread to temperate regions for its ornamental qualities and ease of cultivation. Lavatera trimestris is an annual plant, meaning it completes its life cycle in a single season, from germination to seed production, before dying.

'Mont Blanc' Lavatera features large, wide corolla, pure white flowers, measuring 8-10 cm in diameter. They appear, solitary, in the axils of the leaves. The satin-textured petals show very slight veining. This particularly floriferous Mallow variety flowers from July to October. Its medium green leaves are palmate and lobed. The very bushy plant will reach 60 cm to 1 m in height and more, if it thrives.

The Annual Lavatera 'Mont Blanc' loves the sun as well as light, well-drained soils. Paired with Poet's Carnations, Dwarf Roses or Bushy Sages, it will bring a touch of poetry to your borders or beds. In a countryside style, associate it with Yarrows and Catmints. Regularly remove faded flowers to promote reblooming. It would be a shame not to fully enjoy its remarkably long flowering period!
