Description:
Lavatera Ruby Regis is a vibrant perennial known for its striking deep pink to ruby-red flowers that resemble large hibiscus blooms. This variety adds a burst of color to gardens, blooming from summer into fall and attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.
Ruby Regis thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for borders, cottage gardens, or mixed plantings. It’s relatively easy to care for, requiring minimal maintenance once established.
To promote bushier growth and more abundant blooms, regular deadheading is recommended.
