What is a lavender princess?

A lavender princess, also known as Princess™ lavender, is a variety of lavender plant that is known for its stunning bright pink flowers. These flowers are a vibrant shade of pink and are held above the foliage of the plant, which is a lovely gray color. The combination of the pink blooms and the gray foliage creates a visually striking contrast that is sure to catch the eye in any garden or landscape.

One of the standout features of the lavender princess is its fragrance. This variety has a good fragrance, which is a characteristic that many lavender enthusiasts appreciate. The scent of lavender is well-known for its calming and soothing properties, and having a lavender princess in your garden can provide you with a beautiful and fragrant space to relax and unwind.

In terms of its flowering pattern, the lavender princess is an early bloomer. Its main flowering period occurs in spring, when you can expect a profusion of pink blooms to cover the plant. This is a particularly exciting time as the garden is coming to life after the winter months, and the lavender princess adds a burst of color and beauty to the landscape. Additionally, even after the main flowering period, the lavender princess will continue to spot flower throughout the rest of the year, providing occasional blooms and adding interest to your garden.

What sets the lavender princess apart from other lavender varieties is the pinkness of its blooms. While lavender typically has purple flowers, the lavender princess boasts the pinkest blooms among Spanish lavender varieties. This unique characteristic makes it a standout choice for those who appreciate vibrant and unusual colors in their garden.

In my personal experience, I have found the lavender princess to be a delightful addition to any garden. Its striking pink flowers never fail to draw attention and create a focal point in the landscape. The fragrance of the plant adds an element of relaxation and tranquility to the garden, making it a wonderful place to spend time in. I have also appreciated the fact that the lavender princess continues to flower throughout the year, providing occasional blooms even when other plants may be dormant. I highly recommend the lavender princess for anyone looking to add beauty, fragrance, and interest to their garden.
