Lavender LAVINNOVA® 'Baby Pink Princess’

Common Name:
Baby Pink Princess Lavender (trade name: LAVINNOVA® Baby Pink Princess)

Description:
Lavender ‘LAVINNOVA® Baby Pink Princess’ is a delightful, compact lavender hybrid celebrated for its soft pastel-pink flower spikes adorned with butterfly-like bracts, which bloom profusely through spring into early summer. The grey-green, aromatic foliage forms a neat, rounded mound, creating an elegant and tightly formed habit. This drought-tolerant selection is easy to grow, long-flowering, and beautifully fragrant—perfect for both formal and casual planting in Melbourne gardens. With its low-maintenance nature, it flourishes in containers, rockeries, borders, hedges, and coastal settings. Regular deadheading encourages repeat blooms, while a late-winter feeding and pruning help maintain its compact shape.
