Lavender ‘LAVINNOVA® Frostberry Ruffles’

Common Name:
Lavender 'Frostberry Ruffles'

Description:
Lavender ‘LAVINNOVA® Frostberry Ruffles’ is a standout variety from the Lavinnova® breeding program, offering a compact form, highly decorative flower heads, and a distinctive colour combination of soft lilac wings over dark berry-toned bracts. Bred for exceptional performance in Australian conditions, ‘Frostberry Ruffles’ thrives in Melbourne’s climate, handling both coastal exposure and periods of dryness once established. Its silvery-grey foliage is aromatic year-round and provides an attractive contrast to the profuse spring and summer blooms. This variety is well-suited for pots, borders, low hedging, and cottage-style gardens, with a naturally neat, mounded habit that requires minimal shaping. Regular deadheading will encourage repeat flowering. Perfect for attracting pollinators, it brings fragrance, structure, and soft colour to any sunny position.
