Lavender - Javelin Forte Deep Purple

Common Name: Javelin Forte Deep Purple Lavender

Description:
Lavandula ‘Javelin Forte Deep Purple’ is a striking variety of Spanish lavender, prized for its intense deep purple flower spikes topped with prominent wing-like bracts. Flowering from late winter through summer, this highly aromatic and compact lavender attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Its silvery-green foliage provides year-round texture and contrast. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, ‘Javelin Forte Deep Purple’ prefers full sun and well-drained soil and is highly drought-tolerant once established. Regular pruning after flowering maintains its compact shape and encourages prolonged blooming.
