Lavender 'Elite Purple'

We've partnered with the best growers to bring you Lavender 'Poplar Grove Elite Purple' — a hardy, hedge-worthy lavandin selected specifically for real garden performance rather than just a pretty pot. Its deep purple flower spikes sit above dense, aromatic silver-green foliage, and it's bred to flower generously and hold its shape, which is exactly what you want if you're planning a lavender hedge or a big, colourful mass planting rather than a single feature plant.

Thriving in Bayside: This is a genuinely tough, vigorous variety, which makes it perfectly suited to Sandringham's sandy soil and warm, dry summers. It's drought and wind tolerant once established, handling exposed, breezy bayside positions with ease, and its robust habit means it copes well with the kind of hard prune a hedge needs to stay dense and full. Give it full sun and good drainage and 'Elite Purple' will do the rest, largely looking after itself between the occasional deep water.

Position: Full sun
Water needs: Low once established
Habit: Vigorous and dense — bred for hedging and mass planting
Bonus: Highly fragrant, wind tolerant and a favourite with bees

Enquire in store or over the phone for current pricing and availability — our team can help you work out just how many you'll need for a stunning lavender hedge.
