Full Sun Drought Tolerant Bee Friendly Ideal for Hedging Great in Pots

Why English Lavender Thrives in Australia

Lavandula angustifolia is one of the most reliable, drought-tolerant shrubs for Australian landscapes. With proper drainage and full sun, it produces waves of fragrant purple blooms that attract bees while maintaining neat, silver-grey foliage year-round.

Best Uses

  • Lavender hedge: Plant 40–50cm apart for a dense, structured border.
  • Cottage & Mediterranean gardens: Pairs beautifully with rosemary and olive trees.
  • Pots & courtyards: Ideal for sunny balconies with well-draining mix.
  • Cut & dried flowers: Perfect for natural home fragrance.

Growing Guide

Sunlight: Full sun (minimum 6 hours daily)

Soil: Free-draining soil essential — avoid heavy clay

Watering: Low once established

Pruning: Light trim after flowering, avoid cutting into old wood

Frost Tolerance: Handles light to moderate frost

Nursery Tip: Lavender struggles more from overwatering than drought. If unsure, improve drainage before planting. In smaller pots, plants can quickly dry out on hot days and die.

A very good quality Ginkgo biloba was delivered within four days of my placing the order. It is well-priced and a more substantial plant than I had anticipated. A bonus was that the Nursery member of staff who delivered the Ginkgo was delightful and courteous.
