Lavendula augustifolia 'Super Blue'

Lavandula angustifolia ‘Super Blue’ is a compact English lavender prized for its exceptionally deep violet-blue flowers, sweet fragrance, and long season of bloom. This improved selection forms a dense, rounded mound of aromatic, silvery-green foliage that provides year-round beauty while serving as the perfect backdrop for its vibrant flower spikes.

From late spring through summer, ‘Super Blue’ produces an abundance of richly colored blossoms held on sturdy stems above the foliage. The intensely fragrant flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, filling the garden with the classic soothing scent that has made lavender a favorite for centuries. The blooms are also excellent for cutting, drying, and crafting fragrant sachets and floral arrangements.

Growing just 12–18 inches tall and 18–24 inches wide, ‘Super Blue’ is ideally suited for borders, rock gardens, herb gardens, containers, and mass plantings. Its compact habit also makes it an outstanding choice for edging pathways, where brushing against the foliage releases its delightful fragrance.

This easy-care perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing excellent drought tolerance once established. It performs best in soils with good drainage and benefits from light pruning after flowering to maintain its neat, rounded shape and encourage vigorous new growth.
