Lavender Angustifolia Munstead

Minimum order quantity for this plant in 14cm pots is 3 units

Lavender angustifolia ‘Munstead’ is a compact English lavender prized for its aromatic foliage and prolific violet-blue blooms. Growing to about 50cm high and wide, it’s ideal for borders, low hedges, and cottage-style gardens. It thrives in Australia’s temperate regions, particularly in Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide.

Choose a sunny position with well-drained soil. Avoid heavy clay and waterlogged sites. Once established, Munstead is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Prune after flowering to maintain a dense shape and promote future blooms. In humid regions, ensure good airflow to prevent fungal issues.

This cultivar handles light frosts and tolerates poor soils if drainage is adequate. Mulching helps suppress weeds and retain soil warmth but keep mulch away from the crown. It is also well-suited to pots and Mediterranean-style garden designs.

Companion plants include Salvia nemorosa, Santolina chamaecyparissus, and Erigeron karvinskianus, which all thrive in similar dry, sunny conditions and add textural contrast.
