Shrubs Lavender Avonview

Lavender Avonview – who out there doesn’t love the soothing fragrance of traditional lavender? It’s one of our favourites and it’s never really gone out of fashion.

Avonview lavender has grey-green narrow leaves with toothed edging and a woolly texture that are highly aromatic. Just brush past and your ankles release that heavenly scent.

Her long-lasting flowers appear in Spring. They are narrow spikes of rich purple with pale violet bracts that perfectly set off the grey-green of her leaves. Nature always brings the right colours together.

Lavender attracts pollinating insects to your garden and when you plant them near a seating area the scent aids relaxation, de-stressing the busiest of folk.

Pop Avonview in well-drained soil with plenty of sun and she’ll come back year after year. Trim the dead flowers back in winter but don’t cut into the woody parts.

Lavender is perfect in a sunny border, in a pot or used to create a small hedge. During summer flowers can be brought indoors to dry out for home-made potpourri – how very chic!

Quick Facts: 

• What to use me for: I look grand in a flower border or pot and especially suit a seating area. Bring my flowers indoors to dry out and during winter you can keep my scent under your pillow for restful sleep.

• I grow to: I’ll reach 80cms in height and spread over 60cms.

• Where to place me: I like dry sunny spots in the sunshine.

• How far to space me:  Give me 40cms of room please.

• Soil Conditions: It must be dry and well-drained because no lavenders appreciate a soggy backside. I like alkaline soils and need little water once established.

Our plants are beautifully grown with well-developed roots. They can be planted directly into the ground and are excellent performers for the shadier parts of your garden or as an indoor plant.

We carefully package your plants into a customised box to ensure safe transport, healthy plants and delivery to your door.
