Lavandula angustifolia ‘Momparler’
Platinum Blonde™ Lavender is a striking ornamental lavender prized for its unique variegated foliage and fragrant blue-purple blooms. The narrow leaves feature soft green centers edged in creamy white, creating beautiful year-round color even when the plant is not in bloom.
In summer, elegant spikes of aromatic blue flowers rise above the foliage, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators while filling the garden with classic lavender fragrance. Its compact habit makes it ideal for containers, borders, herb gardens, and sunny landscape beds.
Growing 18–24 inches tall and wide, Platinum Blonde™ forms a tidy mound that adds both texture and color to the garden. Like most lavenders, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, especially sandy or gravelly conditions. Once established, it is highly drought tolerant and low maintenance, making it a perfect choice for water-wise landscapes.
