Lavatera x clementii ‘Red Rum’
Masses of deep pink/magenta flowers grace this dwarf tree mallow throughout summer.

Lavatera ‘Red Rum’ is a compact grower great for containers or as a mid-level plant in a perennial bed. Dark red stems hold closely packed red-pink flowers. The close clustering of the flowers makes an intense floral display from spring through summer and likely into fall. Named after the multi-race award winning British racehorse, Red Rum.
