Rose Mallow "Rubinovõe Kupola"
Lavatera trimestris
Rose Mallow "Rubinovõe Kupola"
Location: photophilous, cold-resistant and drought-resistant.
Soil: Undemanding, but grows best in loose, not too fertile soil. In this case, their shoots are not excessively stretched, and flowering is massive and intense.
Care: lavatera does not tolerate waterlogging, but with prolonged drought, the plants are regularly and plentifully watered. Stems of tall varieties are tied to stakes. To stimulate the formation of new buds, faded shoots are cut off. Top dressing is required only on very poor soils no more than once every 4-8 weeks.
Diseases and pests: affected by rust. At the same time, yellow or brown spots form on the underside of the leaf. Remove the affected parts of the plant; in case of severe infection, the entire plant is destroyed. Do not plant lavater in this place for several years.
Propagation: by sowing seeds in open ground in early spring. Shoots appear in two weeks at a temperature of 15 degrees. Young plants are planted at a distance of 25-30 cm from each other.
Use: very effective in group plantings, mixborders. This magnificent plant with large flowers, as a rule, is planted in a flower garden with bright annuals, where it always attracts the attention of anyone who is nearby. Flowering shoots can be cut and included in bouquets.
