Lavender 'Blue Star' Plants
Gorgeous, beautiful and fragrant this variety of Lavender is perfect for planting in containers or small spaces while generating maximum fragrance and colour. Forming a dense, bushy shrub with thin grey-green leaves and rich purple flowers, this plant makes an impact in the garden all year around.
Due to its highly scented nature and beautifully dramatic flowers, these plants attract a wide array of wildlife, primarily butterflies to feast on their nectar. So, if you're looking to create a bee-friendly or butterfly-friendly garden, this could be a wonderful options for you.
Whilst lavender in general is a fairly low maintenance plant, only requiring pruning a couple of times a year to keep its shape whilst being fairly drought tolerant, it will require protection from frost. A simple layer of fleece or mulch should do the trick for plants in the ground, or container-grown herbs can simply be placed into a greenhouse for the winter months.

Delivery options explained
Pre-order delivery option
From January to March, customers are able to pre-order herbs for delivery later in spring, to ensure that you receive the unusual varieties that you desire. We begin dispatch of pre-orders from late March, once all items in your order are available for dispatch in one delivery, as some varieties will be available a little later in the year than others. You will receive notification when this dispatch takes place along with tracking information but if you would like an estimated delivery date after placing your pre-order, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Order Now delivery option
From late March to autumn, herbs will be available for immediate dispatch subject to their availability. We dispatch our fresh potted herbs Monday-Wednesday each week to avoid postal delays over the weekend. We aim to dispatch all fresh herb orders in less than seven days, i.e. an order placed Thursday-Sunday would likely be dispatched the following Monday. Orders placed Monday-Tuesday, we would aim to dispatch by the Wednesday of that week.
If you have a specific dispatch date that you would like us to aim towards, please do not hesitate to let us know. We can't guarantee a particular date but will strive to do our best for you.
