Renowned for its deep violet blue flower spikes and compact, bushy habit, this lavender brings both colour and fragrance to summer gardens. The slender grey green leaves form neat mounds that contrast beautifully with the richly coloured blooms from midsummer through early autumn. More drought tolerant than many perennials once established, it thrives in sunny, well drained positions, making it ideal for borders, hedging or container planting. The flowers retain their intense colour when dried, perfect for creating long lasting potpourri or floral arrangements. Bees and butterflies flock to its nectar rich blossoms, while the aromatic foliage deters deer and rabbits. With excellent winter hardiness and a tidy growth habit, it maintains its structure throughout the seasons.
