Lavender Angustifolia Imperial Gem
Compact evergreen shrub with a beautiful scent!
‘Imperial Gem’ is a compact evergreen shrub with narrow grey-green leaves and fragrant spikes of deep purple flowers in summer. Given its tidy growth habit, this bushy English Lavender makes a fantastic low hedge that will be much-loved by bees and other pollinating insects. It’s also ideal for edging pathways where its scent can be appreciated as you brush past the aromatic foliage. Height and spread: 50cm (20″).
. Grow English lavender plants in free draining soil. Choose a position in full sun. Lavenders dislike wet ground, particularly during winter. Improve heavy soil conditions by adding coarse grit or sharp sand prior to planting. When growing English lavender in large patio containers, use a well drained soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3. After planting, prune lavender plants to encourage bushy growth.
