Description
The pair consists of:
- x 1 Butterfly lavender: the botanical species Lavandula stoechas, with large spike-like flowers topped with bracts of intense violet forming a tuft. It mainly flowers in spring and then again in late summer.
- x 1 Butterfly lavender 'The Princess' : tufted flowers of a remarkable intense pink. This variety blooms early, in April-May, and then again, in successive waves, throughout the summer.
The butterfly lavender is a plant native to the western Mediterranean basin. It is a shrub that naturally grows in full sun on siliceous slopes, poor in limestone. You will cultivate it in a mixture of soil and non-limestone fine gravel, ideally in a raised bed (20cm (8in) is enough). Also avoid watering it with "hard" tap water, especially if you grow it in a pot. From the mint family, this fragrant plant has a camphor-like aroma that pleasantly perfumes laundry and the garden. Respect a spacing of 40cm (16in) between each plant to create a dense lavender border, 50 to 60cm (20 to 24in) if you mix it with other small bushes.
The butterfly lavenders in this pair perfectly match cotton lavenders, prostrate rosemary 'Whitewater Silver', for example, and creeping brooms. It is also possible to mix several varieties of lavenders together, creating an elegant display, both in terms of the variety of flower and foliage colors, as well as the size and volume of the plants.
Butterfly lavender also makes beautiful potted plants. Choose a large pot (30 to 40cm (12 to 16in) in diameter). This will allow you to overwinter it frost-free in the coldest regions of our country.

Planting and care
In nature, the butterfly lavender always lives in poor and siliceous, dry, arid, perfectly drained environments. It hates summer watering with hard water. Not very resistant to heavy frost (up to -7°C (19.4°F)), it is advisable to grow it in a raised bed, in front of a south or west-facing wall, in cooler regions, and in a pot for overwintering. It is also very well suited for pot cultivation.
In winter, it absolutely needs perfect drainage, and in summer, it needs to be kept dry (in the ground). The stoechas lavender will age better in poor soil, as its growth will be slower, and it will be less likely to thin out at the base. To limit this phenomenon, it should be pruned, from a young age, after flowering or in autumn, just above the first buds that can be seen on the wood. Lavenders and lavandins never 're-sprout' on old wood. The clump will thus branch out more and more, remaining compact, eventually forming beautiful dense cushions.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
