Lavender 'Anouk' ( Lavandula stoechas 'Anouk') is a striking variety of butterfly lavender, prized for its compact growth habit, prolonged flowering, and aromatic silvery foliage. Native to the Mediterranean, this lavender is distinguished by its deep purple flower spikes, topped with purple bracts reminiscent of butterfly wings, providing a striking visual display throughout the summer. Its dense growth habit and drought tolerance make it an ideal choice for borders, rock gardens, and container plantings. In addition, it attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, while being resistant to deer and rabbits.
