Add item to quote to see pricing

Lavatera maritima is an exotic, robust shrub, commonly known as the Tree Mallow. Hailing from the balmy Mediterranean, this spectacular evergreen showcases lustrous grey-green, palmate leaves crowned with a profusion of hibiscus-like, blush pink flowers that splatter darker veins, creating a stunning visual display from summer to fall. Surprisingly low-maintenance, the Tree Mallow gracefully reaches heights of up to 6 feet and flourishes in tough conditions. From basking in the full sun to withstanding harsh, windy sea-spray, and thriving in poor, dry soils, it is a rewarding choice for seaside gardens or as a striking centerpiece in mixed borders. With its rich color palette, alluring blossoms attracting a variety of pollinators, and resilience against heat and drought, the Tree Mallow is an ideal blend of visual appeal and hardiness, making it a beloved selection for those looking to inject some Mediterranean charm into their landscapes.
