Gardeners around the world have been growing lavender for centuries for its intensely fragrant flowers, beautiful appearance, and ease of culture.

Along comes Sweet Romance®, destined to become a favorite because of its ability to bloom the first year. Additionally, it begins to flower a bit earlier in the season, typically in early summer and lasting into early fall.

The grey-green foliage forms a compact mound topped with plump, rich violet purple flower wands that are perfect for cutting for fresh and dried bouquets. Clusters of tiny flowers appear at the nodes up the stem in addition to the terminal inflorescence, adding color down into the plant.

  • 12-18 inches tall and wide at maturity
  • Hardy in zones 5-9, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
  • Plant in full sun (6+ hours daily)
  • Space plants 12-18 inches apart for best results
  • Produces fragrant blue-purple flowers from spring through fall
  • Maintains fragrant silver-green foliage from spring to frost
  • Great for borders, containers, cut flowers, dried flowers, edges, landscapes, and mass planting
  • Attracts bees and butterflies while resisting deer and rabbits
  • Heat and drought tolerant

Our perennial plants are entering their natural dormancy phase. As part of this process, foliage and blooms are browning and dying back—this is completely normal! We give the plants a hard trim in our greenhouse to support them as they conserve energy for the next growing season. Rest assured, your perennials will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!

Care:  Requires well-draining soil. Shearing back the foliage in early spring will rejuvenate plants and stimulate new growth. Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring.
