Butterfly lavender seeds for borders and patios

Bring striking colour and structure to your herb garden with butterfly lavender seeds. This distinctive crested type, Lavandula stoechas, produces lavender-blue flower spikes topped with vivid red-purple “wings” that draw the eye in mixed borders and container displays. Compact plants reach around 40 cm tall, forming neat clumps that work beautifully as a compact lavender border plant along paths, in herb beds, or edging a sunny seating area. The flowers and foliage are pleasantly aromatic when gently brushed, adding extra sensory appeal to any outdoor space.

Crested lavender seeds perfect for pots and containers

These versatile crested lavender seeds are ideal if you want patio lavender in pots or a standout feature in rock gardens and raised beds. Butterfly lavender seeds for pots and hummingbird lavender seeds for containers create eye-catching displays on balconies, terraces, and small courtyards where space is limited. Sow indoors from March to June for flowering from July through October, enjoying months of richly coloured, fragrant lavender flowers. Lavandula stoechas thrives in sunny positions and suits well-drained soils, making it a reliable choice for lavender for rock gardens, decorative planters, and low-maintenance Mediterranean-style plantings.
