Lavandula angustifolia 'Peter Pan' Lavender

Low-growing, richly fragrant, and wonderfully versatile.

Lavandula angustifolia ‘Peter Pan’ is a charming, compact English lavender that forms a low, tidy shrub—perfect for edging, low hedges, containers, and rock gardens. Despite its smaller stature, this variety delivers generously with mid-length stems of dark violet flower spikes and a strong, classic lavender fragrance.

The blooms feature dark violet calyces topped with vibrant violet corollas, creating excellent color depth both fresh and dried. ‘Peter Pan’ is especially well-suited for drying, potpourri, crafts, and essential oil use, while its balanced flavor and aroma also make it a reliable culinary lavender.

Its compact habit keeps it neat and manageable, making it an excellent choice for gardeners who want lavender that stays in scale without sacrificing fragrance or usefulness. Whether planted en masse as a low hedge or tucked into a container near the kitchen door, ‘Peter Pan’ is dependable, hardworking, and easy to love.
