Lavender Platinum Blonde is a multi-award winner, and was just pipped to the post as the RHS Chelsea Flower Show Plant of the Year 2013 by another stunning introduction that can be found in our range - Mahonia Soft Caress. Both well deserved nominations, and congratulations to our winning variety Soft Caress. Lavender Platinum Blonde hardly needs more awards anyway, having won amongst others; the innovation prize for the best new perennial introduction at IPM Germany - the world's biggest and most important plant and horticulture show; Bronze medal in the innovation competition at Plantarium - one of the world's premier exhibitions for perennials and woody ornamentals in Holland; IBER flora Spain - the Lavender wins the prize for the best plant innovation of the show!
Â
This English lavender is perfect for a sunny, well-drained bed or border, patio planters, herb and kitchen gardens need not miss out either. The fragrant flower-spikes, highly attractive to bees and other beneficial insects, as well as butterflies, associate well with the foliage of other plants, and the foliage of Platinum Blonde provides great contrasts to all manner of other plants too from silvery Astelias to Purple Heucheras.
Â
The wonderful foliage and summer flowers lend themselves to many situations within the garden or courtyard, either in the bowl, tub, herb garden, or just to create that fragrant spot for everybody's enjoyment.
Lavender Platinum Blonde is also superb for an unusual low growing scented lavender hedge or ground cover.
