Lavandula angustifolia ‘SuperBlue’ is a compact and highly floriferous English lavender, prized for its intense blue-violet flower spikes and its aromatic silver-grey foliage. Its vibrant color creates a stunning effect in sunny beds, borders, and rock gardens.
It develops a dense and uniformly rounded habit, ideal for creating neat borders or mass plantings. Its summer blooms attract bees and butterflies in abundance, contributing to a vibrant and ecological garden.
Highly heat and drought tolerant once established, ‘SuperBlue’ lavender prefers very well-drained, even slightly poor, soil in full sun. It is also deer resistant, an important advantage for gardens in Quebec.
