A year-round ornamental feature
The most distinctive characteristic of Platinum Blonde lavender is its decorative variegated foliage. The young shoots display a vibrant mix of yellow, white, light green and cream throughout the spring and summer seasons.

Surprisingly, the foliage changes to a grey-green shade during winter before emerging fresh and bright again in spring. As a result, the plant maintains its ornamental value throughout the entire year.

Butter Yellow and the lavender colour palette of this summer
The yellow edge of the foliage is completely on trend. Besides the currently popular variegated pattern, the colour itself perfectly matches today’s design trends. The trend colours for the coming season are Butter Yellow and… lavender purple. The ideal combination to appeal to consumer preferences.

Stimulates the senses
From mid-July onwards, the blue-mauve flowers bloom, offering not only visual appeal but also a wonderful lavender fragrance. This lavender requires very little maintenance; it does not need intensive pruning and requires little water. Nevertheless, it flowers from spring through to autumn and has a compact growth habit reaching a height of 40 to 60 centimetres, making it ideal for pots, borders and ornamental gardens. Its long flowering period also attracts a wide variety of bees and beneficial insects to the garden

Availability
Platinum Blonde will be available from mid-May and can be purchased at garden centres and other plant retailers. Stay updated via @lavenderplatinumblonde on Instagram for inspiration and care tips, and visit the website: https://lavandamomparler.com/en/
