How to grow Lavender 'Impress Purple' in NZ

Lavender 'Impress Purple' thrives in full sun and well draining soil to support strong flowering and lasting garden performance.

Lavender 'Impress Purple' care tips

Caring for Lavender 'Impress Purple' is simple and rewarding. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and stimulate fresh new shoots.
