It is ideal for a wide range of garden uses including borders, low hedging, feature planting, and containers.

The Lavandula Sensation™ series, commonly known as Butterfly Lavender, is a striking collection of compact, aromatic Lavenders bred in Australia for exceptional performance in warm, humid, and coastal conditions. These plants are known for their vibrant flower spikes topped with large, wing-like bracts in vivid colours. Flowering begins in late winter and can continue well into summer, providing months of vibrant colour and fragrance in the garden.

With a naturally bushy, upright growth habit, plants in the Sensation series form a neat, evergreen mound of grey-green foliage. The foliage is aromatic year-round, adding sensory appeal even when not in bloom. This series has been specially developed to thrive in full sun with well-drained soil and will tolerate dry conditions, light frost, and humidity once established.

These Lavenders are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, making them an excellent addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. They are ideal for use in borders, sensory gardens, low hedging, coastal landscapes, or decorative containers. Light pruning after flowering encourages compact growth and repeat blooming, ensuring the plant remains tidy and vibrant throughout its growing season. The Lavender Sensation™ series is a reliable, eye-catching choice for gardeners seeking long-lasting colour, fragrance, and resilience.
