Pink Lavender
Pink lavender (Lat. Lavandula angustifolia 'Rosea') is a variety of the well-known lavender. Instead of the typical purple flowers, however, it has pink flowers, which also give it its name. Pink lavender enriches your garden with a very compact, low-growing plant that is hardy and exudes the typical aromatic lavender scent. It is a bee-, bumblebee- and butterfly-friendly perennial and ensures that these important insects feel completely at home in your garden. It is ideal for planting in areas or as a hedge.
Flowers & Pruning the pink lavender
The beautiful pink flowers appear in early summer. After flowering, the flower stems can be cut back; the rest of the shrub can be left untouched and will continue to grow naturally for the rest of the year. Around March of the following year, you should prune the lavender plant back to about 15cm. Repeat this process every spring to avoid the branches becoming woody and bare from below.

Our tip
After cutting the flower stems, you can dry them and place them in a vase at home. From there, they spread the typical, aromatic lavender scent.
