Growing Tips for Your Lavatera Silver Cup Seeds:

Sow seeds directly outdoors in spring after the last expected frost in a sunny location with well-drained soil. You can also start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks earlier. Plant seeds at a shallow depth. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination.

Once seedlings are established, they are relatively drought-tolerant. Space plants appropriately to allow for their bushy growth. Deadheading spent flowers may encourage prolonged blooming.
