Lavish® Purple Frost - Lavender stoechas

Lavish® Purple Frost is a Spanish lavender in Green Fuse Botanicals’ Lavish® series, grown for its conspicuous purple flower heads and colored bracts. The series is described as among the earliest lavenders to flower, with a long display that can continue for months. Its compact scale suits sunny container plantings and the front of a well-drained border. ### Flowers and placement Green Fuse lists the Lavish® series at 12–18 inches tall and Zone 7, and includes Purple Frost as a named selection. A related Lavish Purple cultivar profile describes fragrant foliage, full sun, summer flowering, and a mature size around 12–18 inches tall by 16–20 inches wide; exact dimensions can vary among selections. [James Greenhouses’ Lavish® series profile](https://www.jamesgreenhouses.com/plants/lavandula-madrid-lavish-purple/) and [Burpee’s Lavish Purple profile](https://www.burpee.com/products/lavender-madrid-lavish-purple-prod500371) provide selection and series context. ### Growing conditions Give Spanish lavender full sun and sharp drainage. A grower profile for the Lavish® series also recommends excellent drainage and reports heat and drought tolerance after establishment. Avoid sites where the root zone stays wet. ## Maintenance After flowering, remove spent stalks and trim lightly to keep the plant compact. Do not cut deeply into old woody stems. Water new plants while they establish, then allow soil to dry between waterings.
