Lavandula angustifolia ‘Royal Velvet’

Premium English Lavender – Deep Color & Exceptional Fragrance

‘Royal Velvet’ is one of the most sought-after varieties of English lavender, prized for its rich, velvety purple blooms and strong, classic lavender fragrance. This hardy perennial produces long, elegant flower spikes that are perfect for fresh bouquets, dried arrangements, sachets, and essential oil use.

This variety is also an excellent culinary lavender, with a sweet, low-camphor flavor ideal for creating lavender syrups, infused sugars, baked goods, teas, and desserts.

Blooming in early summer, ‘Royal Velvet’ is known for its uniform growth, vibrant color retention when dried, and high oil content—making it a favorite for both gardeners and lavender growers.

Ideal for borders, garden beds, and pollinator-friendly landscapes, this variety attracts bees and butterflies while remaining drought-tolerant once established.
