Common Name: English Lavender 'Aromatico Blue'

Description:
Lavandula angustifolia 'Aromatico Blue' is a highly fragrant and compact English lavender variety, prized for its deep blue-purple flowers and silvery-green aromatic foliage. This hardy perennial is well-suited to Melbourne’s climate, thriving in full sun and well-drained soils. It flowers prolifically from late spring through summer, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. 'Aromatico Blue' is an excellent choice for garden borders, rockeries, pots, and hedging.
