Description

Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead' (Primed)

Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead' (Primed) is a popular and versatile lavender variety known for its abundant blooms, compact growth, and delightful fragrance. This English lavender is ideal for borders, rock gardens, low hedges, and pots on the patio or balcony. Thanks to its 'Primed' cultivation method—professionally pre-cultivated with a strong root system—you'll enjoy a vigorous start and a healthy, floriferous plant from the very first season.

Characteristics of Lavandula 'Munstead'

Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead' distinguishes itself with its slightly looser, more natural appearance compared to other lavender varieties. The flowers have a soft violet to purple-blue color and contrast beautifully with the narrow, gray-green leaves. The plant remains compact, making it ideal for smaller gardens or as a border planting.

  • Width: approx. 40–50 cm

  • Flowering period: June – August

  • Location: full sun

  • Winter hardy: yes (to approx. -15 °C)

  • Attracts bees and butterflies: yes

Its compact size and vigorous growth make 'Munstead' perfect for creating a low, fragrant lavender hedge or as a colorful addition to perennial borders.

Rich blooms and wonderful fragrance

Lavandula 'Munstead' blooms begin in early summer and, with proper care, can continue into August. The flower spikes exude a distinctive, soothing lavender scent that is loved by both humans and insects. Bees, bumblebees, and butterflies are drawn to this plant, contributing to a vibrant and biodiverse garden.

The flowers are also excellent for drying. Dried lavender can be used in scented sachets, herb blends, or decorative bouquets. This way, you can enjoy the natural scent of lavender indoors as well.

Location and care

Lavender is a Mediterranean plant by nature and loves sun and well-drained soil. With proper care, Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead' will remain healthy and compact for years.

Location:
Plant this lavender in a sunny spot with at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. The sunnier the location, the more abundant the blooms.

Soil:
Provide well-draining, preferably calcareous soil. Wet or heavy clay soil can cause problems; improve drainage with gravel or sand, if necessary.

Watering:
Water regularly after planting. Once the plant is well-established, it is drought-resistant.

Pruning:
Prune lightly immediately after flowering to keep the plant compact. Pruning can be done again in spring (March/April), but avoid cutting back to the old, woody part.

Thanks to its 'Primed' quality, this plant has a strong root base, which means it establishes itself faster and is more resistant to changing weather conditions.

Applications in garden and terrace

Lavandula 'Munstead' is exceptionally versatile. Use it as a low hedge along a path, combine it with roses for a romantic look, or plant several specimens in groups for a playful splash of color. This lavender also looks fantastic in pots and containers on a balcony or patio.

Its compact growth and abundant blooms make 'Munstead' ideal for both modern and rustic gardens. Combine it with ornamental grasses or other drought-tolerant perennials for a low-maintenance, Mediterranean atmosphere.
