Lavendula stoechas 'Fathead' (Pot Size 1L) - French Lavender sold by Boma Garden Centre

Lavandula stoechas ‘Fathead’ is a distinctive and highly ornamental lavender, recognised for its deep purple flower heads topped with soft, petal-like pink bracts that resemble butterfly wings. This striking contrast gives the plant a vibrant, contemporary look, making it a standout feature in containers and borders alike.Flowering from spring into late summer, it provides a long season of colour and interest. Its compact, rounded habit makes it particularly well suited to patio pots, terrace planting, and sunny urban gardens, where it thrives in warm, sheltered conditions.Unlike traditional English lavender, ‘Fathead’ offers a slightly softer fragrance and a more architectural floral form. It pairs beautifully with other Mediterranean plants such as rosemary, thyme, and ornamental grasses, creating relaxed, drought-tolerant planting schemes with strong visual appeal.
