Lavender - Lady

Common Name: English Lavender 'Lady'

Description:
Lavandula angustifolia 'Lady' is a compact and early-flowering English lavender, prized for its highly fragrant, deep purple flowers and aromatic grey-green foliage. Unlike many other lavender varieties, 'Lady' blooms in its first year, producing an abundance of flowers from late spring through summer. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a perfect choice for Melbourne gardens. This versatile and hardy perennial is well-suited to garden beds, rockeries, edging, and pots. Its richly scented blooms are ideal for cut flowers, dried arrangements, and essential oil production. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, ‘Lady’ is an excellent addition to pollinator-friendly gardens, attracting bees and butterflies.
