Plant description
Dense spikes of pure white, fragrant flowers appear in late summer which shine out among aromatic, grey-green leaves.
Lavandula angustifolia 'Arctic Snow' is a compact variety of English lavender that makes a gorgeous, informal flowering hedge, especially for edging a path and border, and brushing against it releases its heady fragrance. The flower-spikes are highly attractive to bees and other beneficial insects.

How to care for Lavandula angustifolia Arctic Snow:
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.
