Lavender - Sentivia Blue

Common Name: Lavender 'Sentivia Blue'

Description:
Lavandula angustifolia 'Sentivia Blue' is a compact and highly fragrant English lavender variety, prized for its deep blue-purple flowers and silvery-green aromatic foliage. Blooming from late spring through summer, this hardy perennial attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a fantastic choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, 'Sentivia Blue' is well-suited to Melbourne’s climate and is highly drought-tolerant once established. Its naturally bushy and upright habit makes it perfect for borders, rockeries, pots, and low hedging. The richly scented flowers are excellent for fresh and dried arrangements, potpourri, and essential oil production. Low-maintenance and long-lasting, 'Sentivia Blue' is a standout addition to any garden.
