Kew Red Lavender
Lovely Red Flowers
Recently introduced in 1999 by Kew Gardens is the lovely red-violet colored Lavender. This is a stoechas Lavender with light pink bracts on the flower tops originating from the southern regions of Spain. This is known as Kew Red or sometimes Kew Pink because of the fuchsia colored flower heads..The foliage is gray-green with short compact leaves. This plant, a heavy bloomer, will certainly be noticed and is a welcome color variation.
Like other plants from this species full sun along with good drainage and poor soil is key to mastering growing Lavender anywhere. Plant it close to a walkway or patio where the flower color and fragrance aroma can be appreciated closeup.

This Lavender plant is hardy to US zones 8-11 with a mounding growth habit of 2 1/2 feet high x 2 1/2 feet tall. This is a very pretty red version of French Lavender. The Lavender flowers are carried atop shorter stems with dense compact foliage. The whole plant is very aromatic and long blooming. In flower from mid summer onward with grey green evergreen foliage. Try combining this alongside white Grosso to really set off the unusual color variation. |
