  • Deep eggplant-purple blooms appear earlier than most and repeat through summer

  • Waterwise and undemanding once established; tolerates drought and resists deer and rabbits

Aromatico Blue Imp. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia ‘Blue Imp.’) is a prolific, early-blooming lavender that brings deep eggplant-purple flower spikes above silvery gray-green foliage, filling sunny spaces with classic lavender fragrance. Designed for tidy edging along paths and low borders, its aromatic foliage releases a soothing perfume whenever you brush past it—making it a standout choice near walkways, patios, and garden seating. This compact, undemanding evergreen shrub fits beautifully in containers and rock gardens, offering repeat flowering through the summer with minimal fuss. Plant in full sun and fast-draining, slightly alkaline soil, allow the soil to dry almost completely between waterings, and prune back after flowering to encourage fresh growth and rebloom.
