Aromatico™ Blue Lavandula

Aromatico™ Blue is an upright English lavender grown for early, abundant flowers and a notably strong fragrance. Its compact size suits sunny borders and containers, with blue flower spikes appearing from late spring into summer. ## Size and Placement Syngenta lists garden dimensions of 14–20 inches tall by 10–12 inches wide and USDA Zones 5a–9a. This cultivar is described as heat-loving, pollinator-friendly, and upright; its dense flower spikes offer a useful accent at the front of a border or in a patio pot. The [Syngenta Aromatico Blue plant page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70070480) identifies the selection by product code 70070480 and gives its exposure, bloom time, habit, size, and hardiness. ## Growing Conditions Place it in full sun and provide well-drained soil. English lavender generally declines in heavy, wet soils; the [RHS species profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/91398/lavandula-angustifolia/details) recommends good drainage and notes that English lavender is drought resistant once established. Keep air moving around the mound, especially in humid weather. ## Maintenance Trim lightly after flowering to keep the plant compact, and remove spent flower spikes. Avoid cutting into old, leafless stems. Water through establishment, then let the soil dry between irrigation; avoid winter waterlogging.
