Spanish Anouk Lavender
A sure sign that spring has sprung
Spanish lavender, similar in appearance to other lavender varieties, grows as small shrubs, perfect for low hedges, borders, or unique topiaries.
Its silvery-green leaves accompany distinct purple rabbit ear-like flowers on upright stems.
Thriving in warmer climates, it prefers full sun and excels in container gardens, allowing flexibility in outdoor placement.
​
​
However, unlike English Lavender, Spanish Lavender is decorative and aromatic but not meant for consumption, though it can adorn dishes as a garnish.​
Care Instructions
For maintaining lavender standards, deadhead fading flowers to encourage new blooms from developing buds below.
If the plant gets overgrown, trimming it by mid-June could spur flowers in about 10 weeks; otherwise, it remains a leafy standard.
​
Spanish lavender isn't frost-resistant and is usually treated as an annual in zones 7 - 10.
​
To support its growth, ensure regular feeding with a balanced liquid or granular fertilizer, low in nitrogen, during flowering periods. Ratios like 15-15-15, 10-10-10, or 5-10-10 work well.
​
While suitable for gardens, consider its vulnerability to cold temperatures when planting Spanish Lavender outdoors.
