Plant description
This is a striking lavender that brings colour, scent, and structure to sunny gardens, forming a neat, bushy evergreen mound with softly spreading growth. Narrow grey-green leaves provide year-round interest and set off the long, upright flower spikes, which open in rich pink tones and fade gently as they mature, releasing a strong, classic lavender fragrance that draws bees and other pollinators in abundance.
Lavandula angustifolia ‘Miss Katherine’ is particularly well suited to borders, gravel gardens, and containers, thriving in free-draining soil and a warm, open position. Flowering begins in late spring to early summer, and a prompt trim after the first flush can encourage a lighter second display, keeping plants compact and floriferous while maintaining their clean, rounded form.

How to care for Lavandula angustifolia Miss Katherine:
Plant in a sunny, well-drained spot with slightly alkaline soil. This lavender becomes drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens or containers.
Water the plant deeply but sparingly, as overwatering can lead to root rot. In colder climates, consider providing some winter protection by mulching around the base, especially during its first year.
In early spring, typically in April, carefully trim the plant to remove any damaged or dead growth. After the flowers have faded, trim the flower stalks to maintain the plant’s neat shape, but be cautious not to cut into the thicker, woody stems, as lavender doesn't regenerate well from old wood.
