Description
Dense purple-blue flower spikes and fragrant gray-green foliage make Lavandula angustifolia Ellagance Purple a compact choice for sunny edging, gravel gardens, and patio containers. The bushy, mound-forming shrub flowers from June through October and attracts butterflies in summer.
Grow it in full sun and well-drained chalk, gravelly, loam, or sandy soil, then let the soil dry slightly before watering again. The edible flowers have a sweet, floral flavor and can garnish desserts or flavor baked foods. Deadhead after flowering and trim lightly in late summer without cutting into old wood. The plant is toxic to dogs and cats if eaten.
