Lavatera 'Lilia Twirl'

The flowers of this uniquely shaped variety do a little pirouette with their twirls of overlapping lilac-purple petals with darker veining. The trumpet-shaped blooms of Lavatera 'Lilia Twirl' resemble hollyhocks but come without the worry of rust, offering exuberant clusters of flowers from early summer to early autumn for little effort.More compact and branching than other varieties, this fast-growing shrub boasts attractive lobed grey-green foliage that remains semi-evergreen, providing interest even when not in bloom. Loved by bees and other pollinators, it’s an ideal choice for wildlife-friendly gardens, delivering a vibrant, cottage-garden feel with minimal effort. Ultimate height and spread: 1.5m (4.9ft).
