Royal Velvet Lavender Pint

Royal Velvet Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Royal Velvet') is one of the finest English lavenders you can grow — deep, vibrant purple flower spikes on long arching stems above classic gray-green foliage. The rich, dark violet calyxes create a striking color that photographs beautifully and fills the surrounding air with a concentrated, true lavender fragrance during warm summer months. Prized for culinary use, essential oil production, and sheer garden beauty.

Why Gardeners Choose Royal Velvet Lavender
