Lavandula Angustifolia-rosea

English Lavender

Lavandula angustifolia ‘Rosea’ (Pink English Lavender)

A compact, evergreen perennial, Lavandula angustifolia ‘Rosea’ is valued for its soft, pale pink flower spikes that bloom in early to mid-summer. The delicate blooms create a subtle, pastel effect above aromatic gray-green foliage, offering a refined alternative to traditional purple lavenders. Its neat, mounded habit makes it ideal for borders, edging, and cottage-style plantings.
