Lavandula Avignon Early Blue

Lavandula Avignon Early Blue: Compact English Lavender | Early Bloomer

Lavandula Avignon Early Blue is a high-performing, compact cultivar of English Lavender that excels by blooming significantly earlier—weeks ahead of many traditional English lavender varieties. This perennial is prized for its tidy, refined habit and its striking, intensely fragrant deep violet-blue blooms.

It’s fine, silvery-grey foliage provides a beautiful backdrop to the vibrant blue spikes. This selection is highly adaptable and performs reliably, making it an excellent choice for creating formal, neat hedges, adding vibrant color to borders, or starring in container displays. It possesses the inherent resilience of English lavender, thriving particularly well in hot, dry climates where it requires full sun and well-drained soil. The early bloom allows for a longer season of enjoyment, fragrance, and attraction for beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies.
