Product Description
Lavandula stoechas ‘Regal Splendour’ is a vibrant and eye-catching French Lavender, forming a neat, bushy mound of linear, grey-green leaves that release a soothing fragrance when touched. Its bold flower spikes appear in spring, showcasing deep purple-violet blooms crowned with rich purple bracts for a dramatic, ornamental effect.
This variety flowers earlier than many lavenders, bringing colour and interest to the garden from spring and continuing into summer. Its compact growth makes it ideal for containers, gravel gardens, and sunny borders, where it pairs beautifully with other Mediterranean-style plants.
Best grown in full sun and well-drained soil, ‘Regal Splendour’ thrives in warm, sheltered positions. Once established, it shows excellent drought tolerance, making it a reliable and low-maintenance choice for UK gardens.
