Lavender Margaret Roberts

Lavandula Margaret Roberts

Lavandula Margaret Roberts is a variety of Lavender that grows as a compact shrub and carries masses of small, light purple flowers on slender stems through summer. The foliage is grey-green and complements the darker flowers nicely. Both the flowers and foliage produce a lovely aroma when cut. This evergreen shrub typically grows to 75 cm tall and 60 cm wide, performing best when planted on a well-drained site in full sun. It is a hardy plant that will tolerate dry conditions but does require protection from hard frosts when young. Lavandula Margaret Roberts is commonly used in cottage gardens, included in mixed plantings and borders, trimmed into a hedge, or grown in a container. For hedging space plants 30 cm apart. A mass planting gives a truly dramatic display.
