Rose Mallow Silver Cup Seed

Rose Mallow Silver Cup Seeds – Irish Plants Direct

 

A striking, free flowering annual known for its large, satiny blooms and strong garden presence.

 

Classified botanically as Lavatera trimestris, this classic variety produces an abundance of bright rose pink flowers with a soft, shimmering sheen that gives the appearance of polished silk.

 

Silver Cup forms bushy, upright plants that flower continuously from early summer to the first frosts. The wide, open blooms attract bees and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife friendly gardens.

 

Its vigorous growth and generous flowering make it ideal for borders, cottage gardens, cut flower beds, and large containers.

 

This variety thrives in sunny positions with well drained soil and performs reliably even in poorer soils. It requires very little maintenance and offers long lasting colour throughout the season.

 

The blooms are excellent for cutting and hold well in arrangements, adding a soft, romantic touch.

 

An excellent choice for gardeners seeking a bold, easy to grow annual with abundant, silky pink flowers and strong summer impact.
