Lavender - Sensation Rose

Common Name: Sensation Rose Lavender

Description:
Lavandula stoechas ‘Sensation Rose’ is a unique variety of Spanish lavender, distinguished by its soft pink flower spikes topped with delicate, rose-pink bracts. Blooming from late winter through summer, this highly fragrant, compact shrub is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. Its silvery-green foliage provides year-round interest and contrast in garden beds, borders, and pots. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, ‘Sensation Rose’ prefers full sun and well-drained soil and is highly drought-tolerant once established. Regular pruning after flowering maintains its shape and encourages prolonged blooming.
