Lavatera Mont Blanc
Lavatera Mont Blanc
Although Lavatera Mont Blanc is categorised as a hardy annual, I find that best results can be obtained if treated as a half hardy. 
To prevent the need for pricking out, sow just three seeds in individual small plant pots. Do this in early April and place them in the greenhouse, preferably unheated. The seeds will soon germinate and by mid May they should be ready to plant out in the garden border.
This very hardy plant will give an amazing show late June through till September. Although the foliage is nothing to speak of this is no problem as the pure white blooms smother the plant. Seeds can be collected in Autumn before disposing of the plants.
Hardiness – Fully hardy
Height – 100cm
Position – Full sun
Hi Joan
This Lavatera is grown as an annual. Sow seeds in Spring and they will flower in Summer. When they die back you just chuck them out. Seeds will be in the garden centres very soon.
Hi I am trying to buy Mont Blanc Lavatera but cannot locate anyone who sells this plant. Do you know where I can locate them. Would be very grateful.
Thank you in advance

Trish, this is an annual plant, sow the seeds in Spring, chuck the plants out in Autumn.
Lovely strong looking white lavatera
Where do you recommend buying a plant and when would be the best time of year to buy and plant?
Thanks
