Product Description
Lavandula stoechas ‘Tiara’ is a distinctive variety of French Lavender, forming a neat, rounded shrub with evergreen, silvery-grey foliage that releases a calming fragrance when brushed. Its striking flowerheads combine rich purple-blue tones with elegant creamy-white bracts, each marked with subtle green midribs, creating a standout display.
Blooming generously from late spring through to late summer, this lavender brings vibrant colour and movement to borders, gravel gardens, and containers. Its compact size makes it especially useful for smaller spaces or for lining pathways where its scent can be enjoyed up close.
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, ‘Tiara’ is well suited to Mediterranean-style planting schemes. It performs best in a sheltered, sunny position and once established, shows good drought tolerance, making it both beautiful and practical for modern gardens.
