Annual Lavatera

The soft pink flowers of this annual Lavatera have a silvery sheen. They are easy to grow from seed, which germinates readily throughout spring, summer and autumn.

The seed is also very easy to collect, and I scatter it around places where I'd like to see some bright pink. These annuals are tall plants, but have strong colour in the sunlight.
