Overview

An aromatic, flowering herb for mediterranean gardens and pots. Purple-blue, 'corn-like' flowerheads erupt into slender, purple petals like butterfly wings, fluttering above the linear, highly aromatic, grey-green leaves. 'Lusi Purple' is a compact French lavender, popular with bees and other nectar-loving insects, which flowers earlier in the season than its English cousins. Plant in a protected, sunny border or, in colder regions, grow in pots to be easily transported to a cool greenhouse or conservatory during the winter.

Care guide

When planting, incorporate some well-rotted compost or manure into the planting hole and surrounding area. Keep plants compact by cutting back the spent flower stalks after they have faded. Then, in April, trim back again, taking care not to cut into the old wood.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
