Laveanna™ Violet Lavandula stoechas

Laveanna™ Violet is a mounded Spanish lavender selected for early spring color that continues into summer. It has a compact landscape form, good branching, and violet flowers that provide a pollinator-friendly display; mature plants reach about 10–14 inches tall and 12–16 inches wide. ## Garden use Danziger groups Laveanna Violet with its distinct Grande Purple and White forms. The [Laveanna 2026 collection guide](https://www.danzigeronline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Lavandula-LAVEANNA-2026.pdf) lists the Violet form for USDA zones 7–9, with a mounded habit and prolonged flowering through summer heat. Its small size suits the front of a sunny border or a container, where the flowers remain close to eye level. Lavender flowers are fragrant and useful to visiting pollinators; the [RHS lavender guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/lavender/growing-guide) notes lavender’s appeal to bees and other pollinating insects. ## Growing conditions Choose a sunny site with fast-draining soil. Spanish lavender is less cold hardy than English lavender, so match the listed zone range to local winter conditions and keep container roots sheltered from prolonged cold or winter rain. Water new plants as they establish, then avoid saturated soil. A freely draining potting mix helps when garden soil stays heavy or wet. ## Maintenance Trim lightly after the flowering display to keep the mound tidy, removing spent stalks and only a little leafy growth. Avoid cutting into bare woody stems, which may not resprout. Remove any dead or frost-damaged tips in spring, and keep container drainage clear.
