Lavender Javelin Forte Deep Purple 140MM

Lavandula stoechas 'Javelin Forte Purple'

I am Lavender Javelin Forte Deep Purple. My family originated from the Mediterranean.

Habit Shrub - Scented flowers
Plant family Lamiaceae
I am a deep purple lavender producing beautiful aromatic deep purple upright flower spikes adorned with showy purple "butterfly wings". I can be cut back at any time of year and a reasonable trim in autumn after my blooms have faded is beneficial. I have excellent disease resistance and am an excellent choice for borders, garden edges, rockeries and in pots. I am a steady grower that is long lived. I attract bees and beneficial insects. I make an excellent cut flower to be enjoyed indoors. My dried flowers retain their fragrance and are a good choice for drawer sachets.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My fragrant deep purple blooms appearing from spring and through summer are topped with purple wings
Hardy and adaptable I am just as happy garden planted or in a pot, a great way to brighten paved areas
Suited to borders, rockeries and mass planting plant me wherever my fragrance and flowers can be appreciated
