1 Lavatera Bredon Springs Tree Mallow, Hardy Pink Flowering Perennial Garden Shrub, 2L Root Ball

Lavatera 'Bredon Springs' is a stunning semi-evergreen shrub, widely admired for its long season of beautiful dusky pink flowers with deeper pink veining. A vigorous and easy-to-grow plant, this Tree Mallow produces an abundance of funnel-shaped blooms from early summer right through to mid-autumn, providing months of colour in the garden. Its soft grey-green lobed foliage creates an attractive backdrop to the profusion of flowers, making it a wonderful addition to mixed borders, cottage gardens, and Mediterranean-style planting schemes.

This hardy perennial shrub is a reliable performer in UK gardens, thriving in a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil. Once established, Lavatera 'Bredon Springs' is relatively drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, requiring only a hard prune in spring to encourage fresh, vigorous growth and plenty of new flowering stems. It is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.
