Description

24-30” x 18-24” wide. Lavandula stoechas 'Portuguese Giant' is a recent introduction and comes to the US directly from Portugal where the seed for the plant was originally collected. Introduced by Van Hevelingen Herb Nursery of Oregon, ‘Portuguese Giant’ was selected for its huge flower heads and exceptional dark purple flowers. Blooming in April and May, this showy Spanish lavender retains its wild vigor and is highly attractive to bees and butterflies. Lavandula prefers slightly alkaline soil so if planting in the Southeast, we suggest you take a soil test before planting.
