Lavandula spp. "Pippa White"

Common Name:
Pippa White Lavender

Description:
Lavandula stoechas 'Pippa White' is a compact, evergreen shrub known for its aromatic grey-green foliage and distinctive bi-coloured flower spikes. During the warmer months, it produces pale green flower heads adorned with creamy white bracts, creating a striking contrast. This variety is ideal for low hedges, borders, and container planting. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, exhibiting excellent drought tolerance once established. Regular pruning after flowering helps maintain its compact form and encourages prolific blooming in subsequent seasons. Its resilience and low maintenance requirements make it a valuable addition to various garden settings, including coastal and low-water landscapes.
