Product Description

Lavandula angustifolia ‘Purple Treasure’ is a charming, compact English lavender that forms a tidy mound of narrow, grey-green foliage. Its vibrant blue-purple flower spikes rise above the foliage in early to mid-summer, creating a bold yet elegant display that works beautifully in both traditional and modern planting schemes.

This variety is especially well suited to smaller gardens, containers, and border edges thanks to its naturally compact habit. Despite its size, it delivers excellent fragrance and visual impact, making it a popular choice for pathways where its scent can be enjoyed when brushed past.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, ‘Purple Treasure’ is easy to grow and reliable in UK conditions. Once established, it shows good drought tolerance and continues to attract pollinators, bringing life and movement into the garden.
