Annie’s Purple is a compact Spanish lavender known for its bold, showy purple flower bracts and exceptionally long bloom season. Unlike English lavenders, this variety begins flowering in spring and can continue through fall in favorable conditions, providing extended color and interest.
Plants form a rounded shrub with aromatic foliage and distinctive, upright blooms that add texture and movement to the garden. The flowers are fragrant and hold well when cut, making them useful for both fresh arrangements and drying. Its tidy size and reliable performance make Annie’s Purple a strong choice for borders, containers, and mixed plantings where long-lasting color is desired.

What to Expect With Your Plants
What size plants will I receive?
Most plants ship in 2 3/8” x 3 3/4” band pots—ideal for healthy root growth.
Top growth varies by variety and season, but every plant arrives well-rooted, actively growing, and ready to plant.
Grown naturally without artificial heat or lights, our plants are hardy, adaptable, and ready to thrive in real garden conditions.
When will my plants ship?
We schedule plant orders based on your area’s average last frost date and when each plant is truly ready to ship. You’ll receive an email with your estimated ship date once your order is scheduled.
Orders ship Monday–Wednesday via UPS or USPS (2–3 day service), so your plants arrive before the weekend and spend less time in transit. Shipping begins in spring—usually mid-April—when weather and plant health align, so your plants arrive strong, well-rooted, and ready to thrive.
Do you guarantee your plants?
We stand behind our plants and our packing process. While we can't control weather or how plants are cared for after arrival, we do guarantee that your plants will arrive healthy and in good condition. If there's an issue, just reach out and we're happy to help.

Annie’s Purple has only been inthe ground a couple of weeks and I planted it just as we had a streak of 100 degree temps. One didn’t make it and one is doing well.
