Product information

Compact Lavatera Clementii ‘Barnsley Baby’ produces soft pink blooms from June to September and is an undemanding, pollinator-friendly choice for borders or containers. This fast-growing, fully hardy (H5) shrub prefers full sun and moist, well-drained, moderately fertile soil. For planting, dig a hole twice as deep and three times the rootball width, add soil improver if needed, place the plant level with the soil, firm in and water thoroughly; keep well watered and fed while it establishes and trim in summer if required. Low-maintenance and great as cut flowers, it provides long-lasting summer colour for small garden spaces.

• Planting period – January to December Flowering period – June to September
• Unpack and as long as the weather is favourable, put outside as soon as it arrives and give it a water. When ready to plant, ensure it’s positioned in the right location and aspect in the garden. Keep the area around it clear to avoid overcrowding which reduces its establishment and growth. Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant’s rootball. If your soil is heavy, mix in a soil improver before backfilling. We also recommend adding plant feed into the hole before back filling to help establishment and growth. Place the plant in the hole so that it sits at the same level in the ground as it did in the pot. Firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
• Keep it well watered and fed for establishment and growth. Trim in summer if needed
• H5 – Hardy in most places throughout the UK even in severe winters (-15 to -10°C)
