Description

Lavender ‘Pinata’ (Lavandula stoechas ‘Pinata’)

Lavender ‘Pinata’ is a compact and highly decorative Mediterranean shrub admired for its aromatic silver-green foliage and striking bi-colored flower heads topped with vibrant purple bracts. Blooming abundantly from spring through early summer, it adds color, fragrance, and texture to gardens, balconies, and decorative pots. Perfectly adapted to Cyprus’ dry climate, it thrives in hot summers and mild winters, showing excellent drought tolerance once established. This variety prefers sunny locations and well-drained soil, making it ideal for borders, rock gardens, containers, and low hedges. Regular light pruning after flowering encourages dense growth and repeat blooming.
