Lavandula stoechas 'Bella Toscane' (P)

- (Lavender)

A fabulous cultivar which is early-flowering for the type, and more hardy than many French lavender in the UK climate. Healthy deep green pinnate foliage with good disease resistance. The large dark purple flags of the flowers are a delight, especially when planted en-masse. Superb for containers and sunny patios, and compact enough for troughs.
