‘Kew Red’ is a Spanish lavender with rosy red top bracts and magenta flowers. The bold color and upright bracts give it a very different look from English lavender. This variety is grown mainly for landscape use, not for cutting.
Spanish lavenders are known for pine-scented foliage and expressive flower shape. ‘Kew Red’ has a compact, slightly relaxed growth habit and short flower stems, making it best for containers, rock gardens, and sunny borders where its color and form can be seen up close.
This lavender needs full sun and excellent drainage. It performs best in warm climates and dry conditions and is well suited to Mediterranean-style gardens.

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.
