Purple Bouquet is a great choice when it comes to English lavender. It stays compact and upright, never floppy or oversized, and in early to mid-summer it fills itself with deep, velvety purple flower spikes that look just as good dried as they do fresh.

The stems are long enough for cutting but short enough to keep the plant looking neat in the garden. It’s especially loved by people who like making small dried bouquets, bundles, and wreaths—because the color holds and the fragrance stays true.

The scent is classic English lavender: sweet, balanced, and not sharp. It fits just as naturally in a cutting bed as it does in a mixed border or herb garden.
