Melissa English Lavender Live Plant – 1 Gallon Pot | Pink Lavandula angustifolia | Fragrant Farm-Grown Perennial | Pollinator Garden Plant

Bring soft color and classic lavender fragrance to your garden with this established Melissa English Lavender plant. Botanically known as Lavandula angustifolia ‘Melissa’, this distinctive cultivar produces delicate pale pink to lilac-white flower spikes rather than the traditional deep purple associated with many lavender varieties.

Grown on a small family farm in Sequim, Washington, this 1-gallon plant offers a larger, more established alternative to small starter plants. Its developed root system provides an excellent head start for planting in sunny borders, cottage gardens, herb gardens, pollinator landscapes, and decorative containers.

Melissa typically blooms in early to midsummer and develops into an attractive compact mound of aromatic gray-green foliage. Its softly colored flowers pair beautifully with darker purple lavender varieties and attract bees and other beneficial pollinators when blooming.
