Lavatera Thuringiaca 'Red Rum'

Oh, nice!! Not red, or rum coloured, but lovely!
The purple's really vibrant!

Thank you....This is an easy plant to grow .......... :-)

What a lovely colour.........

Thank You Milky ..... Hope you're doing well...........:-)

Stunning colour, have just been looking at your garden photos, what a great sense of fun and fantastic design, love it.

Thank you Dottydaisy2. I do like changing things every once in a while:-)

I didn't know a Lavatera of that colour existed, its lovely. Would it be alright in very well drained light soil? I love it. Everything in your garden looks lovely.

Oops! There IS another mad one on GoY!
Thank crunchie for that! Hi Mad!

Yes, a lavatera could fine in that sort of condition Mad.

You live in Northants so where did you buy that cos I want one ,mine Is boring pink :-)

I think it was in Poddington or Bosworth Garden Centre...Do you know them? :-)

Yes very well! They are the two I use most.

Oh that's good, but if you cannot find it, I can get cuttings from my one. Have you been to Hills Farm Nursery in Finedon? If they have it there, it will be much cheaper. So there is no excuse for visiting my garden on open day, or whenever you like hehe......LOL. Got a voucher from Bosworth as it's my birthday today, so might pop over tomorrow and treat myself to something nice, maybe a nice pot. I will also pop over to Seasons, as they have loads of bits and pieces :)))))

Happy Birthday!!!! And I will be visiting ((-:

Not been to Hills Farm yet cos I usualy keep driving and go to Bosworths.I went to Gt Doddington on Sunday (was supposed to be in Sainsburys!) nice walk around but very pricey (-:

Thank you so much Annella for the Birthday wishes :-) Yes, Gt Dodington is quite pricey, it's a Wye Vale. It's worth going to Hills Farm, it's a working farm but also has a nursery. I like it, coz it's "an old fashion nursery" if you know what I mean......:-)

Yes I Know, I used to love Gagginis, all my trees came from there.
