Why Grow Lavender?

Lavender is prized for its aromatic flowers and foliage, drought-tolerance, and ability to thrive in New Zealand’s coastal and inland climates. It’s wonderful for garden borders, hedges, or pots. Lavender also dries beautifully for crafts or home fragrance. No matter your intent—edging your paths, boosting your bee population, or creating soothing bouquets—there’s a lavender variety to suit every taste.

Where to Get Lavender Plants in NZ

The best way to get healthy, high-quality lavender plants is from a reputable New Zealand nursery. Local nurseries offer robust plants adapted to your climate and expert advice. We’re proud to stock a curated range of lavender varieties, each with their own unique features and charm.

Explore classic perfumed types like Lavender dentata (French Lavender), beloved for its neat, compact form and frilled blooms. For something with a twist, consider Lavandula Razzleberry Ruffles (Pink Lavender), which boasts striking pink flower heads—a real talking point in any border. Lavender 'Bee Brilliant' is aptly named for its ability to attract pollinators, adding life and movement to your garden while supporting biodiversity.

Not sure which lavender variety to choose? Consider your space and garden goals. Compact selections like Lavender dentata (French Lavender) are suited to pots and smaller gardens, while vigorous growers such as Lavender 'Super' create stunning scented hedges and mass plantings.

Many gardeners like to mix and match for season-long colour and interest, incorporating both traditional purple-flowering varieties and the more unusual forms like Lavandula Razzleberry Ruffles (Pink Lavender).

Tips for Planting and Growing Lavender

Once you know where to get lavender plants that suit your needs, giving them the right start is key. Plant lavender in a sunny spot with well-drained soil—their Mediterranean origins mean they dislike wet feet. Water new plants regularly as they establish, then reduce watering. Prune annually after flowering to keep plants compact and encourage bushy growth.
