Lavandula angustifolia ‘Ellagance Ice’
Lavandula angustifolia ‘Ellagance Ice’ is a little dazzler for delicious perfume and elegant good-looks.
The lavender fragrance from both flowers and foliage is intense, pure, and sweet.
While pristine white flowers team elegantly with silver-grey foliage.
Recently released and newly bred Lavandula angustifolia ‘Ellagance Ice’ is perfect for smaller gardens and containers. Because it is such a compact, neat and tight growing little shrub.
It branches profusely from the base, making a round, dense little shrub, avoiding that straggly, leggy look of some of the old Lavender varieties.
And covers itself with sweet scented white blooms for a long period during summer.
So, it makes a perfect small hedge, individual feature specimen, underplanting for roses, or a very attractive container plant.
Wherever you plant it – make sure it is somewhere you can sniff it as often as possible.
The perfume is delicious.
