Purple Lavandula angustifolia is a hardy perennial with fragrant purple flower spikes and silvery-green foliage, commonly known as English Lavender. Ideal for borders, containers, and cottage gardens, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, adding scent and colour.
Forms a tidy, rounded shape that’s perfect for low hedging and mixed perennial beds edging borders, or growing in patio containers. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage dense growth.

Watering Water regularly while the plant is establishing, then allow the upper soil to dry slightly between waterings. Established Mediterranean herbs prefer free-draining conditions and generally need less water than leafy crops. Container-grown plants will still need checking frequently during warm, dry weather.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in sandy, enriched with organic matter where appropriate. Choose an open position with good airflow and enough space for the crop to mature without excessive competition. Protect tender crops from late frost and cold winds, and use greenhouse or sheltered growing conditions where the variety requires extra warmth.
