Lavandula angustifolia 'Essence Purple'
Common name: English Lavender
A compact, fragrant lavender with dense spikes of rich purple flowers and aromatic grey-green foliage. ‘Essence Purple’ is prized for its uniform shape, vibrant colour, and strong fragrance, flowering over a long period from early to mid-summer.
Ideal for low hedging, edging, borders, containers, or gravel gardens. It attracts bees, butterflies and other pollinators, making it a perfect choice for wildlife-friendly planting. Drought tolerant once established and thrives in sunny, free-draining sites. Can be trimmed lightly after flowering to maintain its neat shape.
Performs best in full sun with poor to moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid heavy or wet soils in winter.
