Lavender ‘Rosea’

Fragrant rose pink flower spikes rise on short stems above neat, grey-green foliage. With its pretty pink blooms, Lavandula angustifolia ‘Rosea’ makes a lovely alternative to the traditional purple English Lavenders. A superb choice for creating a low hedge or path edging where its perfume can be appreciated as you brush past the aromatic evergreen foliage. Height: 60cm (24″). Spread: 75cm (30″).

Grow Lavender plants in free draining soil in full sun. Lavenders dislike wet ground, particularly during winter. Improve heavy soil conditions by adding coarse grit or sharp sand prior to planting. When growing English lavender in large patio containers, use a well drained soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3. After planting, prune lavender plants to encourage bushy growth.
