Glandularia Seabrook's Lavender ('Sealav'PBR)
Height x Spread: 45cm x 50cm
'Seabrook's Lavender' has large lavender coloured flowers with gorgeous deep pink eyes. This Glandularia is a short lived perennial but unlike it's more familiar counterparts it is hardy and will survive all but the harshest of winters. It produces a profusion of large flower heads throughout the summer.
Any reasonably good soil is perfect for this perennial, it will be happy in either full sun or part-shade. Great for the front of your beds and borders or for gravel gardens.
We launched Glandularia 'Seabrook's Lavender' at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, way back in 2007, it was a chance seedling found by the gardening correspondent Peter Seabrook in his garden. He had trialled the plant growing it and over-wintering it outdoors over a period of seven years, proving it to be reliably hardy.
