LAVENDER THE PRINCESS 140MM

Lavender The Princess 140mm Pot

Award winning Australian bred lavender producing large vibrant dark pink flower heads above aromatic silver green foliage.

Lavender The Princess is an early flowering variety prized for its vivid colour, strong fragrance and exceptionally long flowering season. The main flowering flush begins in spring, with repeat flowering continuing through autumn and winter, creating outstanding colour for much of the year.

This hardy compact lavender forms a neat rounded shrub perfect for decorative pots, pathways, patios and waterwise gardens. The fragrant flowers are also excellent for floral arrangements and attract bees and beneficial pollinators to the garden.
