Lavender - Sentivia Early Blue

Common Name: Lavender 'Sentivia Early Blue'

Description:
Lavandula angustifolia 'Sentivia Early Blue' is a compact and early-blooming English lavender variety, prized for its rich blue-purple flowers and aromatic silver-green foliage. This hardy perennial flowers earlier than many other lavenders, providing a stunning floral display from early spring through summer. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, 'Sentivia Early Blue' is drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for Melbourne gardens. Its neat, bushy growth habit makes it ideal for borders, rockeries, pots, and low hedging. The highly fragrant blooms are perfect for fresh and dried floral arrangements, essential oil production, and potpourri. Low-maintenance and long-lasting, this lavender attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, enhancing any garden space.
