Lavandula angustifolia 'Light Blue'

Common name: English Lavender Light Blue

Description: This charming evergreen shrub produces abundant spikes of soft, pale blue, highly fragrant flowers that create a delicate display throughout summer. The sweetly scented blooms are held on slender stems above mounds of aromatic grey-green foliage, bringing soft colour and wonderful fragrance to sunny borders. Light blue lavender is perfect for creating lavender hedges, edging paths, cottage gardens, or growing in containers where its gentle colour and scent can be enjoyed. The flowers are excellent for cutting and drying, whilst the aromatic foliage provides year-round structure and interest. This hardy, drought-tolerant shrub attracts numerous pollinators and brings classic English garden charm with a softer colour palette.
