Madrid® Magnum Purple - Lavender stoechas

Madrid Magnum Purple is Green Fuse Botanicals’ large-growing Spanish lavender selection, valued for abundant, oversized purple bracts. Its official catalog lists a garden height of 15–20 inches and recommends it for production in two-gallon containers. [Green Fuse Botanicals’ 2024–25 catalog](https://green-fuse.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GreenFuse-Catalog-2024-25-lr.pdf) ## Garden use The upright flower spikes provide a bold accent in sunny borders, gravel gardens, or large patio containers. The catalog gives hardiness as zone 7; it does not specify an upper zone limit or mature width for this selection. ## Growing conditions Spanish lavender prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Avoid places that remain wet, especially through cool weather. The Royal Horticultural Society describes the species as evergreen and aromatic, with spring and summer flowers and drought resistance once established.
