Lavendula x intermedia 'Impress Purple' ('Impress Purple' Lavender) Herb Plant

'Impress Purple' Lavender (Lavendula x intermedia 'Impress Purple) Herb in 1 Litre Pot

Impress Purple is a standout hybrid LAVANDULA renowned for its intensely vibrant violet flower spikes, tall upright stems, and strong fragrance. This cultivar is particularly valued for its colour saturation, which remains rich and eye-catching throughout the flowering season. Its elegant, elongated flower stems create a dynamic sense of movement in the garden, making it ideal for sensory borders, pollinator plantings, and large-scale landscape designs where bold colour impact is essential.

The flowers of Impress Purple Lavender are intensely vibrant violet blooms and are produced on spikes at the top of slender, leafless stems 10–30 cm long. Impress Purple Lavender is a flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region and as such prefers a light free-draining soil and an open sunny position, Lavender enjoys being cut back hard ( to 2 cm above the hardwood) after flowering in mid Sept and to maintain a neat shape they can be trimmed again in Spring after the first flush. Ideally plants should be replaced every 3-4 years as they will eventually become woody at the base, however,  with the correct regular pruning they can last much longer.
