Lavandula Angustifolia-buena Vista

English Lavender

Lavandula angustifolia ‘Buena Vista’ (English Lavender)

A compact, evergreen perennial, Lavandula angustifolia ‘Buena Vista’ is prized for its deep purple flower spikes and reliable reblooming habit. Blooming in early summer and often again later in the season, it provides extended color compared to many English lavenders. The aromatic gray-green foliage forms a neat, mounded plant, making it an excellent choice for borders and edging.
