Lavandula Forte Deep Purple - 20cm Pot

Lavender ‘Forte Deep Purple’ is a compact Spanish Lavender bred for its naturally bushy habit, earlier flowering and impressive deep purple blooms. Flowering for longer than many traditional lavenders, it produces masses of richly coloured flower heads above fragrant silver-green foliage, adding vibrant colour and perfume to Melbourne and south-east Victorian gardens.

Selected for its ease of growth and reliable performance, ‘Forte Deep Purple’ is perfect for garden beds, borders, decorative pots and low hedging. The nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees and other beneficial pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.

Compact, hardy and drought tolerant once established, this beautiful lavender provides long-lasting colour with minimal maintenance.

Mature size: approximately 30cm high × 40–50cm wide

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Water regularly while establishing, then only during extended dry periods. Lightly prune after flowering to maintain a compact, bushy shape and encourage repeat flowering. Avoid overwatering, particularly through winter, as lavenders perform best in drier conditions.

Ideal for
– Garden beds and borders
