Lavender Javelin - Italian
This new variety of italian lavender has big flowers, richly coloured, and lots of them on long stems for showy spring-summer displays in your garden and in patio pots. Mature plants are bushy, and a compact size too, ideal for smaller gardens and front-of-border planting.
Javelin varieties are healthy and very disease resistant, definitely worth a try if you've struggled with lavenders in the past.
Javelin Forte Deep Purple is a super-dark colourway, almost black in the body of the flower, with contrasting cool-toned lavender-lilac tufts on top.
