Commencing in May and lasting through to August the jaunty flowers of Lavandula pedunculata subsp. ‘Lucitanica’ will not only be a haven for bees and other pollinators, they will add colour, fragrance and calming impact to your planting. Suitable for borders, rockeries, containers and raised beds – with a literal twist on the English lavender added by their tufty lilac purple turrets of petals.
A wonderfully neat and compact variety with grey green foliage which forms decorative mounds from which the strong, long flower stems emerge. Stems can be cut for vases inside your home and at 40cm height and spread plants can even be potted up to include on a large garden table for your ‘al fresco’ dining experiences to have a true Mediterranean vibe.
Plant Lavandula pedunculata subsp. ‘Lucitanica’ in well-drained soil of any kind which benefits from full sun and any aspect other than north-facing. A hardy, evergreen shrub, with an RHS hardiness rating of H4, so some frost protection may be
