Lavender LAVINNOVA® ‘English Summer Beauty’

Common Name:
Lavender LAVINNOVA® ‘English Summer Beauty’

Description:
Lavender LAVINNOVA® ‘English Summer Beauty’ is a refined and compact English lavender cultivar bred for superior performance, fragrance, and summer longevity. It produces masses of classic lavender-blue flower spikes held above dense mounds of silvery-green, aromatic foliage. Flowering begins in late spring and continues well into summer, especially with regular deadheading. This variety is part of the LAVINNOVA® breeding program, chosen for its tidy habit, heat tolerance, and strong resistance to disease. Perfectly suited to Melbourne's climate, ‘English Summer Beauty’ thrives in full sun and free-draining soil, making it ideal for borders, cottage gardens, and pots. Its striking colour, scent, and form make it a standout in both formal and informal settings, while also supporting pollinators like bees and butterflies. This hardy, evergreen perennial also makes an excellent low hedge or edging plant.
