Lavender LAVINNOVA® ‘The Prince’

Common Name:
The Prince Lavender (LAVINNOVA® Series)

Description:
Lavender LAVINNOVA® ‘The Prince’ is a compact and beautifully refined cultivar bred for its regal deep purple flower heads, dense bushy growth, and exceptional garden performance. Part of the premium LAVINNOVA® breeding program, ‘The Prince’ produces a striking display of rich violet blooms topped with frilly winged bracts, standing out brilliantly against aromatic grey-green foliage. Flowering from early spring well into summer in Melbourne’s climate, this variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, offering strong drought and heat tolerance once established. Its tight, rounded form and long-lasting flowering season make it ideal for low hedges, borders, container plantings, or formal gardens. Light pruning after flowering encourages a flush of new blooms and maintains its compact shape. Combining visual appeal, fragrance, pollinator-attracting flowers, and low maintenance requirements, ‘The Prince’ delivers everything gardeners seek in a modern lavender.
