Lavender LAVINNOVA® ‘The Silver Princess’

Common Name:
The Silver Princess Lavender

Description:
Lavender LAVINNOVA® ‘The Silver Princess’ is a striking ornamental lavender cultivar valued for both its silvery foliage and profuse, fragrant flowering display. It forms a rounded, compact shrub that easily fits into smaller garden spaces or containers while still offering a robust visual impact. The foliage is a soft, silvery-grey that contrasts beautifully with the rose-lavender flower bracts, which persist across the growing season. This variety is bred for repeat flowering and strong garden performance, making it well suited to Melbourne’s temperate climate. It performs best with full sun, excellent drainage, and occasional maintenance pruning to retain its shape and encourage new blooms.
