These wonderful Australian bred Lavenders will tolerate coastal conditions, drought, heat and humidity.
They are compact and grow to about 0.7m with the flower heads being topped with large, brightly coloured bracts that look like large rabbit's ears. These plants tend to be covered in blooms all through spring, adding a lovely Musky Pink colour to your garden palette. This contrasts well with the silvery grey foliage that looks elegant all year round.
As with all lavender the flowers and leaves are heavily perfumed and can be used in as cut flowers or dried and added to perfume sachets.
'The Princess Lavender' PBR - dark pink flowers and bright pink bracts
'Mulberry Ruffles' PBR - pink flowers and pink bracts
'Ghostly Princess' PBR - bright pink flowers and pale pink bracts
These varieties are fast growing and will flower from late winter to early summer. Their size makes them a compact and neat addition to patios and smaller gardens and they can also be used for low hedging.
These are hardy and versatile plants that can withstand periods of drought but do respond well to a good deep watering now and again during hotter periods
