And just to prove the perversity of all things. I haven't grown white Lavatera trimestris in about 5 years. I tried some of my saved seeds last year and not a one sprouted. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that I had left the seed packet, once again, out in the GH over the summer where things get ever so toasty. Figured, what the heck, soaked all the remaining seeds and popped them in to some seed trays. Guess who now has a bumper crop of white Lavatera sprouts? Sigh.
