When is the best time to take Lavatera cuttings?
Lavatera can be rooted from 10 cm long, semi-ripe cuttings taken in mid-summer. Remove any leaves from the lower third of the cutting. Insert into multi-purpose compost mixed with sand and use rooting hormone. Cover the cuttings with a polythene bag to prevent drying out. The leaves are slightly hairy, if they get too wet they will rot.
