Princess Lavender, also known as Butterfly Lavender, is a compact, fragrant perennial shrub loved for its beautiful purple flower spikes topped with distinctive pink bracts. Its eye-catching blooms bring colour, movement, and Mediterranean charm to the garden while attracting butterflies and bees.
Perfect for Western Cape gardens, Princess Lavender is hardy, drought tolerant, and thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Its compact growth habit makes it an excellent choice for small gardens, containers, borders, herb gardens, and edging along pathways. Feed annually in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser to encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering. With its vibrant blooms and pollinator-friendly qualities, Princess Lavender is a beautiful and practical choice for creating a fragrant garden that supports local butterflies and bees.

• Long flowering season, providing colour from spring into autumn.

Plant & Care
Plant Princess Lavender in full sun with sandy, well-drained soil. Allow the soil to dry between watering and water sparingly once established, as lavender prefers drier conditions. Avoid overwatering, particularly during Cape Town’s winter rainfall season. Lightly prune after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage fresh growth. Feed annually in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser to support healthy growth and abundant flowering. For mass plantings, space plants approximately 50–60 cm apart.
Did You Know?
Princess Lavender is often called Butterfly Lavender because its colourful pink bracts rise above the purple flower spikes like delicate butterfly wings. These striking bracts help make it one of the most eye-catching lavender varieties for attracting pollinators and adding vibrant colour to a water-wise garden.
