Description
Lavandula stoechas 'Javelin Forte White' is a beautiful compact Italian Lavender that makes an immediate impression with its stunning display of large white flower spikes adorned with distinctive feathered wings. Growing to approximately 35cm tall and wide, this fast-growing aromatic shrub forms a neat, rounded mound of fine grey-green foliage that is attractive year-round. From spring through summer and into autumn, it is covered in fragrant white blooms that attract bees and fill the surrounding garden with a soft, sweet lavender fragrance.
Highly drought tolerant and wind hardy, 'Javelin Forte White' thrives in full sun in loam, sandy, and well-drained soils with low water requirements once established. Its compact size makes it perfectly suited to low hedges, borders, containers, rockeries, and feature planting in formal and fragrant garden designs. Generally trouble-free and easy to grow, it is an outstanding choice for balconies, courtyards, coastal gardens, and low-water garden designs.
Key Features:
Growing & Care Guide
- Soil: Prefers loam, sandy, and well-drained soils. Excellent drainage is essential as lavender will not tolerate waterlogged conditions.
- Light: Requires full sun for best flowering performance and fragrance. Avoid shaded positions.
- Watering: Water regularly until established, then reduce frequency as the plant is highly drought tolerant once mature. Keep moist during extended dry periods.
- Fertiliser: Apply an annual slow-release fertiliser in spring and supplement with liquid feed through the growing season to support healthy growth and prolific flowering.
- Maintenance: Medium maintenance. Prune back by approximately one third after each flowering flush to maintain a compact, rounded shape and prevent the plant from becoming woody in the centre. Mulch well around the base to retain moisture.
- Flowering: Large fragrant white flower spikes with distinctive feathered wings appear from spring through summer and into autumn, attracting bees and providing an extended season of colour and fragrance.
