Lavandula stoechas is an RHS 'Award of Garden Merit' winning shrub that brings year-round interest to your garden. This evergreen variety shows off its gorgeous purple flowers from Spring through to Summer, alongside fragrant, bright green foliage. Each flowerhead sits at the peak of upright stems, with 4 sterile bracts topping off this stunning, must-have plant.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
