‘Barnsley Baby,’ the bush malva, is very popular because it produces a huge amount of flowers in the garden. At first the flowers are white-pink, but as summer progresses they change to white. It grows to about 70-100 cm tall and prefers a sunny spot with good, nutritious garden soil. This ‘Barnsley Baby’ is very similar to ‘Barnsley’, but is more compact and less tall, with flowers that are a bit whiter. This plant is not very fond of harsh winters, and after such a cold spell you probably won’t see it back in the garden. In its flowering period, Lavatera provides lots of fun and color in the garden.
