Anouk Deep Rose Spanish Lavender

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.

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.
