Lavender Pinnata

Lavandula Pinnata is commonly known as Fern Leaf Lavender and is a distinctive lavender variety prized for its unique and ornamental foliage. This herb belongs to the Lamiaceae family and shares the aromatic and culinary qualities characteristic of lavender species.

One of the most striking features of Lavender Pinnata is its fern-like, finely cut, and deeply toothed gray-green leaves. The delicate and intricate appearance of the foliage sets it apart from other lavender varieties, giving it an elegant and decorative quality. Lavender Pinnata produces slender spikes of fragrant lavender flowers, typically in shades of purple or lilac which really put on a show during the summer months. The blooms emerge from the tips of the stems, creating a visually appealing contrast with the finely textured leaves. 

Like other lavender varieties, Lavender Pinnata is known for its delightful fragrance. The sweet and aromatic scent is a hallmark of lavender plants, making them popular choices for aromatherapy, potpourri, and sachets. Not only is it a wonderful choice for its fragrance, but it can also be used in the kitchen to impart a subtle lavender flavour to culinary creations. Both the flowers and leaves are suitable for infusing beverages, creating lavender-infused syrups, or adding a unique touch to baked goods and desserts.

Lavender Pinnata thrives in well-drained soil and prefers a sunny location. It is relatively drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for gardeners in various climates across the UK.
