Lavender LAVINNOVA® ‘English Summer Purple’

Common Name:
Lavender LAVINNOVA® ‘English Summer Purple’

Description:
Lavender LAVINNOVA® ‘English Summer Purple’ is a beautifully refined variety bred for compact growth, long flowering performance, and strong colour impact. This evergreen shrub features aromatic grey-green foliage and produces masses of rich purple flower spikes from late spring through summer and often into early autumn. The flowers are highly fragrant and beloved by bees and other pollinators. Bred in Australia for Australian conditions, 'English Summer Purple' thrives in Melbourne’s climate, performing best in full sun and free-draining soil. Its naturally tidy and compact form makes it ideal for edging, borders, containers, and small-space gardens. With high disease resistance and low maintenance needs, this variety is a standout for gardeners seeking both beauty and reliability. Regular pruning after flowering will help maintain its dense shape and encourage repeat blooms.
