White lavender - a rarity among lavender plants
When you think of lavender, you immediately associate it with the typical blue-violet colour of its flowers and its fragrant scent. White lavender, with its brilliant white flowers, is a very special plant that immediately catches the eye.
White lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Alba') is an absolute rarity. Unexpected and yet familiar, this lavender plant has the typical aromatic lavender scent, but is radiant white.
Small and compact
This compact lavender plant grows 30 to 40 centimetres tall and is much smaller than the violet-blue flowering lavender. Lavandula angustifolia 'Alba' is therefore ideal not only for planting in beds and borders but also for planting in pots and pans. It is also worth buying this lavender for the flowerbeds on the balcony.
White lavender is an excellent ground cover due to its compact and small growth. This lavender is hardy and with its evergreen foliage in the typical lavender grey colour, it is a beautiful sight even in winter. For an area-wide planting, it is sufficient to buy 12 lavenders per square metre.
Robust and easy to care for
Lavandula angustifolia 'Alba' copes well with normal garden soil and thrives well in both sunny and semi-shady locations. This lavender is hardy and does not require any frost protection.
The lavender of the variety 'Alba' is absolutely easy to care for and robust and even tolerates drought without problems. Like its blue relative, the Lavandula angustifolia 'Alba' variety should be pruned in spring. In this way, the plants can be prevented from becoming lignified and barren.
The uncomplicated Lavandula angustifolia 'Alba' can be planted at any time of year. Even though the white lavender is hardy, it should not be planted in frozen soil.
White lavender fits into any garden
White lavender is a true all-rounder among plants. It is always worth buying this lavender, because with its hilly white flowers it blends in very well with almost any planting. The pretty lavender plant looks good in combination with other white flowering perennials such as white grass carnations, anemones or in combination with flowering plants in other colours to the same extent.
This special lavender plant also looks very beautiful and graceful when planted with grasses. As the lavender is hardy, it provides a little colour as a ground cover under deciduous shrubs.
The Lavandula angustifolia 'Alba' variety is not only suitable as a lavender on the balcony, because it is also an eye-catcher in rock gardens, herb gardens or perennial gardens. It transforms gardens in any style into beguiling scented gardens.
In natural gardens, this rarity should not be missing, because with its delicate white flowers and the fragrant lavender scent, it attracts many bees, bumblebees and other insects.
