Thompson and Morgan Lavatera Barnsley Baby Plant in Pot 9cm 8 Pack

Discover 'Barnsley Baby', a charming dwarf mallow that brings a cottage garden feel to even the smallest of spaces. This compact, well-branched variety is awash with soft pink blooms, creating an eye-catching display on patios or in petite gardens. The profusion of flowers is a magnet for bees and butterflies, adding life and movement to your outdoor area.
Once established, this lavatera requires minimal upkeep and demonstrates good tolerance to brief periods of dryness. Start plug plants indoors, ensuring protection from frost. As the plants mature and the threat of frost diminishes, gradually introduce them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Transfer your lavatera into garden borders or containers filled with moist, well-drained soil in a sunny location. When planting in pots, a soil-based compost is recommended. During the establishment phase, provide regular feeding and watering. Established plants need only occasional attention.
The best time to prune lavatera is in the spring, after the last frost and as the buds begin to swell. Cut back all stems firmly to approximately 30cm above ground level. Mallow can be slow to show new growth in spring, so patience is key – plants that appear dormant may still be viable.
