Lavandula angustifolia Melissa Lilac - 9cm pot

Lavandula angustifolia 'Melissa Lilac' is a classic English lavender, prized for its stunning two-tone flowers and intoxicating fragrance. Dark purple buds open to delicate mauve blooms from midsummer through autumn, creating a beautiful display in any garden. This hardy shrub reaches approximately 80cm and thrives in sunny spots with well-drained soil. It's incredibly low-maintenance once established, requiring minimal watering and thriving in poor, sandy conditions. Simply prune after flowering, cutting back hard but avoiding old wood to preserve next year's blooms. Your 9cm pot plant is ready to go straight into the ground. Water well for the first three weeks to establish strong roots, then let this resilient plant flourish year-round with virtually no fuss. Space three plants within a metre for a stunning fragrant border. Perfect for gardens, borders, and as a culinary herb too.
