About this plant

Lavandula stoechas 'Anouk Deep Rose' produces dense lavender-rose flower spikes topped with prominent deep rose-purple bracts from spring through summer, with repeat blooming extending the display into fall. Narrow, aromatic gray-green leaves densely cover upright stems, forming a compact evergreen mound with fine texture and silvery coloring. The distinctive butterfly-like bracts rise above the darker flower heads, while the fragrant foliage and nectar-rich blooms attract bees and butterflies throughout the flowering season.

Developed by Darwin Perennials as part of the Anouk series, this selection carries the cultivar name 'Anouk Deluxe 179' and derives from Spanish lavender, native to the Mediterranean region. Its compact habit and extended flowering make it well suited to Mediterranean gardens, rock gardens, borders, mass plantings, pollinator gardens, and containers, where its aromatic foliage provides year-round interest.

Design tip

Plant ‘Anouk Deep Rose’ in repeated groups along a sunny border or among rocks, where its upright flower spikes can create rhythm through the planting. Pair it with lower-growing plants to keep the deep rose and purple blooms visually prominent while creating layers of contrasting height and texture.
