Essence Purple English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Essence Purple')

Essence Purple English Lavender, Lavandula angustifolia 'Essence Purple', is a compact English lavender selected for its uniform habit, strong purple flower spikes, and fragrant gray green foliage. Plants form a tight, rounded mound that stays neat without heavy pruning, then cover themselves in dense flower wands that appear in a concentrated flush, creating a bold wave of color along paths, at the front of borders, and in containers. With its reliable blooming, classic lavender scent, and tidy form, Essence Purple English Lavender offers a clean, refined focal point wherever you need a low, sun loving accent.

Distinctive Features

Essence Purple English Lavender typically grows about 12 to 18 inches tall and 14 to 20 inches wide, forming a naturally compact, dome shaped clump that holds its shape well over time. Flower spikes are thick and evenly distributed across the plant, carrying rich purple florets that give a strong, saturated color effect when in bloom. Narrow, gray green leaves provide fine texture and a soft, silvery cast that remains attractive long after the flowers have finished, so the plant continues to function as a foliage accent. The combination of uniform habit, intense flower color, and strong fragrance makes this variety especially useful for edging, low hedging, and high visibility containers.

Growing Conditions

  • Light: Prefers full sun with at least 6 hours of direct light daily for best flowering, compact growth, and strong fragrance.
  • Soil: Thrives in well drained, lean to average soils; avoid heavy, wet ground and favor sandy or gravelly conditions that keep roots on the dry side.
  • Water: Water regularly after planting to establish; once rooted in, water deeply but infrequently, allowing the top of the soil to dry between waterings.
  • Hardiness: Well suited to many temperate regions where English lavender is grown outdoors, especially when provided with sharp drainage in winter.
  • Size: Forms a compact mound about 12 to 18 inches tall and 14 to 20 inches wide at maturity, depending on climate and care.
  • Growth Rate: Moderate grower that fills in steadily without quickly outgrowing containers or narrow border spaces.

Ideal Uses

  • Edging and Low Hedges: Plant in a row along walks, drives, or bed edges to create a low, fragrant ribbon of gray green foliage and purple bloom.
  • Containers and Patio Pots: Excellent in clay pots, troughs, and mixed planters where the compact mound and upright flower spikes add height, scent, and color.
  • Front of Border Accent: Ideal for the front of sunny borders where its neat shape and rich flowers form a dependable visual anchor.
  • Herb and Scent Gardens: Perfect near seating areas, entries, and paths so aromatic foliage and blooms can be brushed and enjoyed up close.
  • Cottage and Mediterranean Gardens: Mix with roses, salvias, grasses, and sun loving perennials for classic cottage combinations, or pair with stone and gravel for a Mediterranean feel.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: After establishment, water when the top inch of soil is dry; avoid constant moisture or soggy conditions that can lead to root problems.
  • Pruning: Shear lightly after the main flush of bloom to remove spent spikes and maintain a dense mound; avoid cutting back into old, woody stems with no leaves.
  • Fertilizing: Requires only light feeding; in spring, apply a small amount of balanced, slow release fertilizer if soil is very lean, since excessive nutrients can cause soft, floppy growth.
  • Mulching: Use a thin layer of gravel or coarse mulch around the base to improve drainage and keep foliage off wet soil, avoiding heavy organic mulches against the stems.
  • Seasonal Care: In colder climates, provide excellent drainage and a sunny, sheltered spot; in late winter or early spring, tidy lightly to remove any winter damage and keep the plant compact.

Why Choose Essence Purple English Lavender?

  • Uniform, Compact Habit: Naturally rounded form stays neat and even, making it ideal for edging and low hedges.
  • Rich Purple Flower Spikes: Dense, deep purple blooms provide strong color impact and classic English lavender style.
  • Aromatic Foliage: Fragrant gray green leaves add soothing scent and soft texture to paths, patios, and outdoor living areas.
  • Sun and Heat Tolerant: Performs well in hot, bright exposures when planted in well drained soil or raised beds.
  • Versatile Design Use: Works in mixed borders, herb and cutting gardens, white and purple themed plantings, or as a container focal point wherever you want reliable lavender color, fragrance, and a tidy focal point.

With its compact, uniform habit, rich purple flower spikes, and fragrant gray green foliage, Essence Purple English Lavender is an excellent choice for adding classic lavender beauty, scent, and a dependable focal point to sunny borders, pathways, and containers.

Surprisingly great for my wide feet and high instep!
Size: 10.5, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
So thrilled I took a chance on these. Finding boots is impossible for me. I have wide feet, a super high instep, a bunion on one foot, and I wear a hard to find size (10.5). I ordered the 10.5 and 11 in these expecting I might need to size up for width (if I could even get them on). It was a struggle getting the 10.5s on the first time, and once I did they were somewhat uncomfortable on the top of my left foot. But I read that they would relax so decided to give it a go because I need waterproof boots for an upcoming trip and the 11s felt too long. After two days of light wear, they are already breaking in and I have no more discomfort. Getting them on is already easier and they are plenty wide enough and very comfortable to walk in. These are true to size. Super happy and worth a day of mild discomfort to break them in!

Comfortable, sturdy, waterproof
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/Black
Loce, love, love these boots. Have walked ten miles with no foot pain around NYC. They go with everything and and are so comfortable. As they are waterproof/resistant, they get a little warm in high temps, but perfect three-season boots.

Super cute, comfortable, practical, love that they are slip on
Size: 10.5, Color: Tobacco/Black
I have worn these 2-3 times already. The first day was a school/work day so I was on my feet 9 hours and the only issue I had was with the side of the boot rubbing against my ankle. I just make sure I wear socks high enough to cover my ankles or jeans that go into the boots now for long wear days. Absolutely love them! They keep my feet dry in this snow( we live in Michigan). I had been looking for a pair like this for awhile now and was getting super frustrated that I couldn't find my size in any that I liked. I saw that they had these available in a 10.5 and I wear 11. I looked at the Sorel website reviews (since the amazon ones weren't super helpful on sizing) and they said that the boots ran big so I took a chance on the 10.5 fitting me. They fit perfect. I have long narrow feet but I could see where they would be tight or uncomfortable on someone with wider feet. I've been trying to find a pair for my mom now since she has boot envy.

Fantastic Boots!
Size: 8.5, Color: Redwood/Gum 10
Completely satisfied with these boots. True to size, well made, comfortable from the get-go; not break in needed. Waterproof- really. The Red Suede has withstood a nasty winter season & still looks great. Good traction. I like the ankle height which looks good with long, mid length pants & leggings. I love the easy slip on/off aspect..made getting ready for dog walking easy. I 100%recommend!
