Lavatera

[shihtzublue]

My lavetera bush got too heavy and collapsed breaking the stem. I sawed it down cleanly and cut the rest down to about 2 ft. Will it regrow or have I lost it

[murraymints]

I take mine down to about 6 inches every year..yes it will come back

Lavetera is about as tough as they come shihtzblue, and practically nothing will kill it !

I think it has a very good chance of regrowing, I've cut loads of this in the past and its always come back well.

[shihtzublue]

Thanks. It fills a nice gap in garden . I will wait till spring . See what happens

[murraymints]

it will come back no fears..best to get them cut back before they get top heavy or break under snow..do it every year !
