Lavender 'Javelin Forte Deep Rose'
A very popular lavender from the Mediterranean region, with small cone shaped dark purple flowers, topped with pretty purple bract, standing proud on long stems. This plant prefers plenty of sun and well drained soil and so in cooler climates is often best suited to container growing. Prefers alkaline/chalky soil and will not last as long in over moist or acidic soil. Very bee friendly. 'Javelin Forte Deep Rose' is a compact lavender with rose pink flowers
