Lavender 'Platinum Blonde'

Lavender 'Platinum Blonde' is a unique variety cultivated primarily for its striking variegated foliage, featuring grey-green leaves edged with creamy yellow. This potent, soothing fragrance is released by brushing against the foliage or crushing the purple flower spikes. It is traditionally used to brighten up borders and containers, while the blooms are perfect for drying or using in sachets, offering a modern twist on a classic cottage garden favourite.

This plant is typically grown as a compact, hardy evergreen shrub. It is tough and cold-tolerant, provided it is not sitting in damp soil. For the best results and the most vibrant leaf variegation, plant it in a location with full sun. It is drought-tolerant and must have gritty, free-draining soil, as it will struggle and rot if kept consistently moist or planted in heavy clay.
