Lavandula LaDiva Papillon Deep Rose

Common Name:
Lavender 'LaDiva Papillon Deep Rose'

Description:
Lavender 'LaDiva Papillon Deep Rose' is a bold and beautifully bred form of French lavender (Lavandula stoechas), known for its vivid deep rose-pink winged bracts that sit like butterflies atop compact, bushy foliage. This variety belongs to the 'LaDiva Papillon' series, selected for its strong colour, large flower heads, and robust garden performance. Flowering begins in early to mid-spring and can continue through to early autumn with regular deadheading. The aromatic, grey-green foliage adds texture and fragrance, making it ideal for pathways, garden borders, or decorative pots. Perfectly suited to Melbourne's conditions, this lavender thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and tolerates dry conditions once established. ‘Deep Rose’ brings a pop of colour to both contemporary and cottage-style gardens and is highly attractive to bees and pollinators. With its compact size and standout floral display, it's an ideal feature for small spaces and sunny courtyards.
