Dwarf White Rose Mallow
Big satiny blooms. A smaller footprint.
Dwarf White Rose Mallow brings the romance at a more manageable scale: broad, satiny white flowers on bushy annual plants that fit into borders, mixed beds, and generous containers. Use the soft white blooms as a quiet focal point or to brighten a sunny cottage-style planting. This is annual Lavatera, with a compact habit and a first-season flower display.

How to Plant
Prepare, sow, and press.
Before broadcasting, thoroughly mix this individual seed with dry sand, vermiculite, or another clean, dry carrier. A carrier is strongly recommended for most individual species and is especially important for small or lightweight seed. Sow in prepared soil and cover lightly, about 1/8 inch. Keep lightly moist through germination without waterlogging. Allow about 12–18 inches between plants. Direct sowing avoids disturbing the taproot. Remove spent flowers to encourage further bloom.
