Lavandula Stoechas (Italian Lavender)

Lavandula Stoechas (Italian Lavender) is an attractive evergreen perennial prized for its fragrant silver-green foliage and distinctive purple flower heads topped with decorative petal-like bracts. Its aromatic foliage and long-lasting blooms bring colour, texture and Mediterranean character to garden beds, borders and containers. The flowers are also highly attractive to bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to pollinator-friendly gardens.

Compact, hardy and relatively low maintenance, Lavandula Stoechas (Italian Lavender) is an excellent choice for sunny, well-drained gardens. Its drought tolerance once established makes it particularly suitable for water-wise landscapes, rock gardens and coastal-style plantings. Regular light pruning helps maintain a neat, bushy shape and encourages productive flowering, making this lavender a practical and beautiful choice for Australian gardens.
