Bold color, sculptural form, and unmistakable Spanish lavender character.
Lavandula stoechas ‘Kew Red’ is a striking Spanish lavender known for its rosy red top bracts and vivid magenta corollas, creating a look that is dramatic, playful, and completely unlike traditional English lavenders. This variety brings strong visual interest to the garden, especially when used up close in containers, rock gardens, and sunny borders.
Spanish lavenders are prized for their distinct pine-scented foliage and expressive flower form. ‘Kew Red’ has a compact yet slightly relaxed growth habit, giving it a softer, more informal feel that pairs beautifully with Mediterranean-style plantings. Its shorter stems and bold coloring make it best appreciated in the landscape rather than for cutting, where its unique structure can really shine.
Thriving in full sun and excellent drainage, ‘Kew Red’ is well-suited to warm climates and gardeners looking for lavender that offers strong personality, texture, and color with minimal maintenance.
