Lavatera flowers are perfect for a vase for a whole week without losing their decorative appearance. As for the cultivation, many gardeners call the levatera a flower for the lazy. Indeed, culture is one of the most demanding and does not take much time from summer residents. Three-month-old Lavatera is one of the most popular varieties grown by gardeners.
She, like most flowers, prefers sunny places. These flowers do not like very wet soils, although they do not tolerate drought very well: the plant begins to drop leaves with insufficient watering. To fertilize the lava is not particularly demanding, it is enough to make fertilizer in early spring, when the bush is planted in the ground.

Gaillardia is an ideal choice for planting in a flower bed, in a rock garden, as well as in a pot on the balcony. The Gaillardia plant gives a wild flower feel to our garden and is also one of the plants that attract butterflies and birds. Gaillardia needs sunny positions to give us its impressive flowering. It wants light and sandy soil that has good drainage, as young Gaillardia plants are sensitive to excess moisture. To plant it in a pot on the balcony, we prefer places with southern exposure and relatively sheltered, as it is sensitive to low temperatures and strong north winds. In any case, we put a layer of gravel at the base of the pot to drain away the water and not to close the holes of the pot due to soil compression.
