Pretty FILLERS
The good old-fashioned shrubby mallows or lavatera are useful plants for starting a new garden from scratch, as they will fill a gaping hole, even at the back of a border, in just one season. With speed they produce thousands of hibiscus- or hollyhock-like flowers that cover the entire plant continuously from June right through to October, which is just the job while you are waiting for slower shrubs and perennials to reach their full potential!
