  • Mature Height 12 Inches

The Layla™ Presto Blue Lavender is an early bloomer with large, fragrant flowers on a compact framework. The violet-blue flowers grow on upright stems and measure a staggering 4 inches long. The Lavandula angustifolia 'Presto Blue' blooms from early summer into fall. Green, lance-shaped foliage complements the flowers.

The mounded, upright growth stays a compact size, making this perennial a good pick for a mixed bed or a container. The plant will not overwhelm or outgrow a space, allowing for more hands-off gardening. Create a low hedge, foundation planting, or spectacular mass planting. The blooms make wonderful cut flowers, and pollinators also enjoy the impressive and fragrant flowers. The Layla™ Presto Blue Lavender grows in zones 5 through 9.

Layla™ Presto Blue Lavender Care

Plant this Lavender in lean, well-drained soil that is slightly alkaline. Situate the plant in full sun. The Layla™ Presto Blue Lavender is drought tolerant once established and rarely needs supplemental water except during an extended dry period. Lavender plants are not heavy feeders, but they can be mulched with a light layer of compost to support growth.

Prune the Layla™ Presto Blue Lavender after the first flush of flowers fades to encourage a full form. Trim again around late summer when the final flowers decline.

Layla™ Presto Blue Lavender Spacing

Mature Layla™ Presto Blue Lavender stands 1 foot tall and wide. Grow two plants in a 12-inch container or space landscape plants 12 inches apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.

Planter Shipping

Standard Colors: 2-3 business days

Special Order Colors: 8 weeks - this is due to the planter being custom made with the color(s) of your choice

Please Note: On special orders there can not be any cancellations
