"
The Best Lavender in the World "
The words in our subject
heading come from the Breeder of Lavandula stoechas" With Love " and what we
have seen by growing the cultivar and with the additional Point of Purchase,
Mr. Howard Bentley from Australia may have a point.
Lavandula stoechas "With Love"™
The introduction of Lavandula "With Love" represents a purpose bred Lavender
exhibiting prolific and a long flowering period. This plant has attractive
clear pink flowers along with the benefits of compact mounded habit and
disease resistance.
This Lavender has been developed as part of a Australian breeding program
over many years. After trialling hundreds of potential types, in garden and
container situations, the selection criteria of habit, flowering and disease
tolerance has resulted in Lavender "With Love"
A compact and mounded habit allows "With Love" to be display perfectly as a
single container gift and ultimately a garden plant or alternately on mass
informally or for hedging.
After an outstanding late winter / spring display this variety continues to
flower in flushes throughout the year. The flowers themselves, unlike the
long arching stems of traditional varieties, are held tightly just above the
foliage
.

Early and long flowering
pink lavender, which can be kept on display indoors for up to two weeks when
it may be placed into a more permanent situation outdoors either in the
garden or a larger container with good quality potting mix.
Cultural Notes
Full sun location in a well drained soil. A light prune after main flowering
flush with an application of slow release fertilizer will keep your lavender
looking great. For hedging space at intervals of approx 50 cm.
