Lavatera is an annual. It is also called Tree Mallow.

My lavetera comes back each year and I cut it down to nothing because it gets so leggy. Maybe they behave differently in Australia

Lavatera is great for large containers or the back of a border.

Like hibiscus, Lavatera have large, showy, funnel-shaped flowers and five separate petals.

Lavatera needs warm and dry weather. While perennial lavatera is frost-hardy, it does best in a sunny spot.

Lavatera plants are cousins to the hollyhock.
