A diminutive form of the classic English Lavender used in cottage gardens and Lavender farms in Mediterranean climates the world over. Its small size makes it an easily managed path edge where the sweet lavender scent will drift on the air as you walk past. Loves the summer sun and will perform well alongside other cottage favourites like Euphorbias and Dianthus.

Care

Plant in full sun in a well drained soil, and apply a general purpose slow release fertiliser after flowering. Watering requirements are low once established, needing only an occasional long soak during extended periods of drought Regular light tip pruning after flowering will encourage a dense bushy habit and new flower growth for the following season. For hedging, space at intervals of approximately 25cm.
