Lavender 'Alba'

Lavender 'Alba'

Elegant and understated, Lavandula angustifolia 'Alba' is a white-flowering lavender that brings a softer, more refined character to borders, gravel gardens, and low hedging schemes. Its aromatic silver-grey foliage and pure white flower spikes make it a striking contrast to darker plantings, while retaining all the resilience and fragrance lavender is celebrated for.

Why Choose Alba?

• Pure white flower spikes — a rare and elegant alternative to purple lavenders
• Intensely aromatic foliage and flowers throughout summer
• Compact, evergreen habit — ideal for borders, edging, and low informal hedges
• Drought tolerant once established — thrives in free-draining, sunny positions
• Coastal tolerant — handles exposed and windy sites with ease
• Highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators

Growing Conditions

Plant in full sun in well-drained or sandy soil. Avoid heavy, waterlogged ground. Trim lightly after flowering to keep a neat, bushy shape and encourage longevity.
