Lavender - Laveanna White

Common Name:
Lavender 'Laveanna White'

Description:
Lavender 'Laveanna White' is a compact, elegant form of Spanish lavender (Lavandula stoechas) featuring pristine white flower bracts with soft grey-green aromatic foliage. This variety is highly ornamental, offering a refined twist on traditional lavender with its crisp white blooms held above dense mounds of foliage. Flowering begins in early spring and continues through to late summer, particularly when spent blooms are regularly removed. Bred for uniformity and performance, ‘Laveanna White’ is well-suited to Melbourne gardens, thriving in full sun and well-drained soils. It performs beautifully in pots, garden beds, or as a low informal hedge, and is especially attractive to bees and beneficial insects. Highly drought-tolerant once established, it also brings a lovely fragrance to outdoor spaces and makes an excellent cut or dried flower. This lavender’s tidy growth habit and extended flowering season make it a standout in modern and Mediterranean-style plantings.
