Product Overview
Lavandula angustifolia Rosea Lavender Dwarf Pink English is a charming and fragrant variety that stands out for its soft blush-pink flower spikes and compact form. Blooming from late spring through summer, it brings delicate colour and classic lavender fragrance to borders, pathways, and containers. This cold-hardy variety is perfect for cottage gardens, low hedging, and waterwise planting schemes.
Growth:
Forms a compact, rounded shrub reaching 40-50 cm tall and wide. Naturally tidy and well-suited for edging or small formal borders.
Light Requirements:
Thrives in full sun. Requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for strong flowering and healthy growth.
Soil Requirements:
Prefers free-draining, slightly alkaline to neutral soil. Grows well in sandy or loamy soils. Avoid heavy or waterlogged ground.
Water Requirements:
Low water needs once established. Water during dry spells, especially in the first year or in containers, but allow the soil to dry between watering.
Frost Tolerance:
Highly frost-tolerant. Well suited to cooler climates where other lavenders may struggle in winter.
Drought Tolerance:
Excellent drought tolerance once mature. A reliable performer in dry, coastal, or low-rainfall gardens.
Flowering Information:
Produces slender spikes of pale pink, sweetly fragrant flowers from late spring to mid-summer. Flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators.
Spacing Requirements:
Plant 40-50 cm apart for low hedging or mass planting. Ideal for borders, rockeries, herb gardens, and feature pots.
Fertiliser Requirements:
Feed with a light application of slow-release fertiliser in early spring. Avoid overfeeding to maintain compact growth and encourage flowering.
Care and Maintenance:
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage repeat blooming. Avoid cutting into old, woody stems. Remove spent flowers to extend the bloom season. Mulch with gravel or coarse sand to improve drainage and reduce humidity around the base.
