So its Chelsea flower show this week and then Wembley at the weekend So is it: https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/17858...lavatera&aliaspath=%2fplants%2fsearch-results or https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/77470...%2bshade&aliaspath=%2fplants%2fsearch-results As it happens I grow both and it has to be Barnsley every time for me. But it does tend to get a bit massive by the end of the season.
Off there tomorrow! Grew the Lavatera for a few years. Rampant as chuff and refused to co-operate after pruning attempts to control its growth! The most wilful plant we ever had! So ironic ;-)
