French Lavender With Love™, Spanish Lavender With Love™, Butterfly Lavender With Love™, Lavandula stoechas ssp. pedunculata 'Bentley'
Lavandula stoechas With Love™ boasts a profusion of plump, cerise-crimson flower heads topped with long candy-pink bracts.

Heat tolerant and disease resistant, it is a wonderful addition to the garden or containers thanks to the very distinctive look of its flowers and its ravishing foliage.
- Flowering typically occurs as early as May (in areas with mild summers and winters) with another flush of blooms in June followed by another flush of color in late summer or fall.
- Evergreen in warm winter climates, this Lavender forms a bushy mound and typically grows up to 14-18 in. tall (35-45 cm) and 12-14 in. wide (30-35 cm).
- Thrives in full sun in dry to medium, poor, light, sandy, well-drained soils. Excellent drainage and air circulation are essential, specifically in hot, humid climates. Drought and dry soil tolerant.
- It is deer and rabbit resistant, and a real magnet for bees and butterflies.
- Spectacular in mass planting and superb in containers. Creates stunning hedges in summer thanks to its free flowering habit.
- Best if sheared back hard after peak summer bloom to promote shorter and sturdier flower stems
